Maintain Your Smile With the Right Tooth Replacement
Depending on the reason for your extraction, you may or may not need to replace any number of teeth after your procedure. It's not necessary, for example, if you're removing teeth to prepare for orthodontics. But most other extractions will require us to put new teeth in place so your jawbone remains strong and healthy.
As part of your treatment plan, we will talk to you about possible tooth replacement solutions so you can choose the one that suits your needs.
You can replace one or more teeth with:
- A Single Implant Crown - Placed before your dental crown, an implant is placed in your jaw to function like an artificial tooth root, keeping the bone stimulated and strong moving forward.
- A Dental Bridge - With or without an implant, we can use a dental bridge to fill gaps in your smile from one or more missing teeth.
Protect your smile and your oral health with a tooth removal in Sioux Falls. For an appointment, call Eastside Smiles today at 605-638-9986.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Removal / Extractions
When is tooth removal necessary?
We'll always try to save your natural tooth whenever possible. However, if a tooth is too badly diseased or damaged to restore, we'll have no option but to remove it. Leaving it in place could cause damage to your healthy teeth and gums and create more problems for you down the road.
What is a tooth removal like?
We begin a tooth extraction by numbing your mouth with a local anesthetic. You also can choose dental sedation to ease your anxiety and calm your nerves for a more relaxing procedure. You may feel mild pressure during the removal, but you should feel no pain. Once the surgery is complete, we will place gauze in the extraction site that you will bite down on for a short time to stop the bleeding.
How long does it take a tooth removal to heal?
For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.
