While we strive to save your natural teeth, there are instances when extraction becomes necessary. This may be due to a tooth compromising your health or being so severely damaged that it can’t be repaired.

For most extractions, we gently shift the tooth to loosen it from its supporting ligaments and then use forceps to remove it. In cases where a tooth is broken or impacted below the gum line, we may need to make a small incision in the gum tissue. Once the tooth or fragments are removed, we will suture the area for recovery.

We understand that needing an extraction can be disappointing, but rest assured, it is done for your health. After removal, we offer various restoration options, including dental implants, full or partial dentures, and fixed dental bridges. We can discuss the next steps for your restoration right after the extraction!

A bone graft is an oral surgery performed to restore the density of the jawbone, enabling the placement of dental implants or periodontal bone repair. When a tooth has been missing for a while, you might notice changes in your mouth and overall facial appearance:

• Neighboring teeth may shift into the empty space.

• Your jawbone may deteriorate due to lack of stimulation.

• Facial skin may sag.

• Your overall facial structure can change.

A bone grafting procedure can restore the missing bone, rejuvenating your facial aesthetics and allowing for additional procedures, such as dental implants. It can also strengthen a jawbone affected by gum disease and provide more support for your natural teeth.

Although oral surgery can seem intimidating, you can feel confident knowing you are in excellent hands at Beacon Dental. Our experienced team, backed by professional knowledge, utilizes advanced technology to perform procedures with pinpoint accuracy. You’ll likely be surprised at how straightforward the process is!
