Don’t Wait Too Long To Replace Your Missing Tooth
Right after your extraction, you probably won’t be thinking about much more than your immediate recovery. We encourage you not to wait too long to talk to us about tooth replacement. Without a tooth root to provide stimulation, the bone in your jaw will begin to deteriorate. Plus, surrounding teeth can shift out of place, which can cause many dental problems.
To replace a single tooth, you can choose:
- A Dental Implant With A Dental Crown – With a dental implant, your jaw won’t shrink because the implant stimulates it when you chew. It will also give you the feel and function that is closest to a natural tooth.
- A Dental Bridge – If an implant isn’t for you, our team can attach a dental bridge to the teeth on either side of your extraction site.
If you’ve lost multiple teeth, we can attach a bridge or dentures to implants, or you can choose full conventional dentures or partials.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal/ Extractions
When is tooth removal necessary?
It’s normally best to keep a tooth in place as long as feasible. If a tooth is too infected or harmed to save with a restorative procedure like a root canal or crown, we will suggest removal. Occasionally, teeth must be removed to get dentures or other restorations. We may also recommend extraction before orthodontic therapy.
Are tooth extractions painful?
We take pride in providing pleasant extractions. We describe what is going to happen and address every one of your inquiries prior to your treatment so there are no surprises. We numb your mouth with local anesthetic, and if you want, you can also relax with dental sedation: laughing gas, oral sedation, or IV sedation.
What happens after a tooth extraction?
We’ll place gauze on the socket and send you home with more gauze to stop bleeding. We’ll offer a prescription for pain medication if needed. We’ll likewise provide you with guidelines on how to take care of your extraction site. Generally, you’ll want to limit your activity level for a couple of days.
