We understand that tooth removal and replacement are essential aspects of dental care that can significantly impact our patients’ oral health and quality of life. Whether due to decay, damage, or other dental issues, sometimes tooth removal becomes necessary to preserve overall oral health and prevent further complications.

Tooth Removal (Extractions):

Our experienced dental team provides gentle and efficient tooth extractions to address various dental concerns, including:

1. Decayed Teeth: When a tooth is severely decayed and cannot be restored with fillings or crowns, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection to neighboring teeth.
2. Damaged Teeth: Teeth that are fractured, cracked, or broken beyond repair may need to be extracted to prevent pain, infection, or further damage to surrounding teeth and tissues.
3. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted (unable to fully emerge from the gums) or causing crowding, pain, or infection may require extraction to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
4. Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, tooth extraction may be recommended as part of orthodontic treatment to create space and achieve proper alignment of the teeth.

Our compassionate dental team takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s oral health and discuss treatment options to determine if extraction is the best course of action. We prioritize patient comfort and use advanced techniques to minimize discomfort during the extraction process.

Tooth Replacement:

Following tooth extraction, it’s essential to consider tooth replacement options to restore function, aesthetics, and oral health. At Lucent Smiles, we offer various tooth replacement options, including:

1. Dental Implants: Dental implants are a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement solution that mimics the natural tooth structure. They consist of a titanium implant fixture surgically placed in the jawbone, topped with a custom-made dental crown for a seamless and natural-looking restoration.
2. Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns placed on adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants.
3. Dentures: Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace multiple missing teeth or entire dental arches. They can be custom-made to fit comfortably and securely, restoring chewing function and enhancing aesthetics.

Our dental team works closely with each patient to determine the most suitable tooth replacement option based on their individual needs, preferences, and budget. We provide comprehensive care throughout the tooth removal and replacement process, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, damage, or other dental issues, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us. We’re here to provide compassionate care and personalized solutions to help you achieve a healthy, functional smile.
