An extraction means to have a tooth removed, usually because of disease, trauma or crowding. Despite our best efforts to save a tooth, sometimes extraction is the only alternative. If this is necessary, we here at Artesa Family Dental are committed to providing you the most comfortable, pain-free procedure possible.
Factors leading to extraction include:
Extensive trauma
Substantial tooth decay
Gum Disease
Severely cracked or broken teeth
No one likes the idea of loosing a tooth, however there are options we can provide to fill the empty space or replace the tooth, such as:
Implant retained crowns, which look and feel like normal teeth
Dental bridges, which are false teeth fused between two crowns
Dentures
If you have any questions or concerns regarding extractions or to learn more about restorative dental options, please contact us today.
