What is tooth extraction?
Next Steps to Smile Restoration
After tooth extractions, the pain may be gone, but it’s important to restore your mouth to its full working condition. Missing teeth don’t just spoil your smile and make you slur your words—those gaps can lead the underlying jawbone to deteriorate. In some cases, if the tooth is not replaced, the bone in the socket left behind can break down and change your appearance. We can rebuild this area with a bone grafting procedure called a ridge augmentation. Undoubtedly the most lifelike and long-lasting tooth replacement option available today, dental implants can maintain healthy jawbone structure and growth, seamlessly fill in those unattractive gaps and return your mouth’s esthetics and function. You may even experience a confidence boost from being able to smile without any gaps or damaged teeth. Dr. O’Neill can typically perform tooth extractions during the same appointment as dental implant placement, saving you time and extra visits.
