When someone needs a tooth removed, we work very hard to keep them comfortable using a variety of anesthetic techniques and options, but a patient never has to worry about being comfortable in our chair. In our office, we understand that losing a tooth can be unsettling and we want you to know that your treatment doesn’t end there. Yes, there are instances in which you may need to lose a tooth, but rest assured that there are a variety of ways that we can replace that tooth and maybe even make it look better than it ever was before.
Expect a Comfortable & Supportive Tooth Extraction Experience
Tooth extraction is always a last resort. Dr Gusfa will try to save your tooth with a range of other preventive or restorative procedures. Gum disease treatment can stop an infection and restore the foundation that holds your teeth in place. Crowns and fillings can strengthen teeth weakened by decay or injury.
We typically recommend a removal when a tooth puts your smile at risk. Additionally, it’s often necessary for extensive restorative procedures like dentures. Your dentist can perform wisdom teeth removal in certain cases; however, for some complex needs, you may be referred to a specialist.
An extraction can:
- Prevent an infection from spreading to other teeth
- Stop a damaged tooth from causing problems in your bite
- Make room for full or partial dentures or dental implants
- Give you back your good oral health and function
- Ensure your wisdom teeth won’t cause alignment issues
Once Dr. Gusfa has removed your tooth, you’ll receive aftercare instructions to encourage the healing process. Then, once your mouth is ready, we’ll work with you on a replacement option. We offer dental bridges and implant options to give you a complete smile again.
