Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket. Below are common reasons for extraction:

• Severe tooth decay or damage: If a tooth is too badly damaged from decay or trauma to be repaired, extraction may be necessary
• Fractured teeth: If a tooth is fractured to the bone level, it needs to be extracted many times as there is nothing else that can be done to save the tooth.
• Infection: When tooth decay or damage extends to the pulp, leading to infection that cannot be treated with antibiotics or root canal therapy
• Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can cause teeth to become loose and require extraction
• Wisdom Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth often require extraction due to lack of space, decay, or potential for infection.

Extraction and Ridge Preservation (Bone Grafting)

At the time of a surgical extraction, we will try to preserve the remaining bone and augment the area with a bone graft and membrane. This step is completed before dental implant placement. This process involves adding bone material to your jaw to create a solid foundation for implants. We use advanced techniques to:

• Restore bone density in areas of tooth loss
• Prepare the jawbone for implant surgery
• Enhance the success rate of implant procedures
• Improve overall oral health and facial structure
  

The extraction site needs to heal for 3-6 months before an implant can be placed.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. These implants serve as a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, offering a natural-looking and comfortable solution for tooth loss. Dental implants provide numerous benefits, including:

• Improved oral function and aesthetics
• Preservation of jawbone structure
• Protection of adjacent teeth
• Enhanced comfort compared to traditional dentures
  

We will refer you to our trusted surgeon for your dental implant placement.

Implant Restoration

Once the implant has fully integrated into the bone through a process of osseointegration, the Implant restoration is the final step in the dental implant process, which involves the placement of the visible portion of your new tooth. Our implant restoration services include:

• Custom-made implant crowns or implant bridges that match your natural teeth
• Precise fitting and attachment to the implant using either cement or screw retention
• Use of original parts only using the top brands of implants with the best labs
• Ensuring proper bite alignment and aesthetics
• Regular follow-ups to maintain the health and longevity of your restoration
