At times when a tooth cannot be saved, there is still work that your Katy, TX dentist can do to improve your overall oral health. Through more advanced restorative services, we can safely extract an unhealthy tooth and ultimately replace it with a prosthetic held in place with a dental implant. This is only an approach we take when there is no way to save the tooth. With that said, an extraction is important both because it can put an end to discomfort, and it can stop an infection from spreading through an unhealthy tooth’s roots before affecting your body in new ways.
Why Your Unhealthy Tooth Might Need To Be Removed
Unfortunately, a tooth’s health can deteriorate so much that an extraction is the only option that we have available to restore your oral health. You can avoid this potential situation by keeping up with regular dental exams, and by acting promptly to address a problem when you feel discomfort. If we find that there is not a way to treat you without removing the tooth, we can follow your dental extraction with the placement and restoration of a dental implant.
Prosthetic Treatment Through Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry makes it possible for you to regain confidence in your smile again, and it can help preserve your oral health in important ways. The arrangement depends on the presence of a small titanium post that is set in your jawbone to take the place of lost teeth roots. Once in position, you will go through a recovery period so that you can heal properly before having a restoration in place. When that restoration is in place, you can bite, chew, and speak without feeling any intrusion from the prosthetic, and you can enjoy renewed confidence in your smile!
We Can Make Plans To Address Problems With Several Teeth
If it is deemed necessary, we can proceed with a full mouth reconstruction plan that takes problems with all teeth that are currently in poor condition. This is an arranged plan we can craft with you in order to address all of your concerns and priorities for care.
