We Can Help If You Need A Tooth Replaced

Why is timing important in matters of restorative dental work? The unfortunate reality of poor dental health is that your tooth’s well-being can deteriorate to the point where it cannot be saved. At this point, the priority for treatment changes to one that restores your complete smile by both removing the unhealthy tooth and providing a custom prosthetic appliance. Our Katy, TX dental practice is prepared to help you take on problems that become serious. Whether you have one tooth in need of our care or several, we can work with you to ensure that you have a positive experience from restorative work.

A Badly Damaged Or Infected Tooth May Need To Be Removed

When your cavity initially forms, you can fail to realize that anything is wrong. A cavity that does cause pain can be more advanced, which can change the kind of care that you require. By booking regular dental exams, you can receive timely warnings to prevent this from leading to complications. Unfortunately, some patients will try to postpone services for as long as they can tolerate discomfort. By doing this, you can give an infection time to not only form but spread so much that your tooth has to be removed! We should note that infections can occur after physical injuries, too, which is part of why they should be taken seriously.

Carefully Removing And Replacing An Unhealthy Tooth

By carefully extracting your unhealthy tooth, we can remove it without affecting neighboring teeth or surrounding gum tissues, we can stop discomfort, and we can prevent the further spread of bacteria. Following the extraction, we can arrange the replacement of your lost tooth with a dental implant-held restoration. Implant dentistry addresses issues associated with the loss of a tooth’s roots as well as the portion that is visible above the gumline. By taking care of this loss, we can offer more support for your overall oral health, keep a restoration more secure, and help you avoid jawbone deterioration.

Planning Significant Work To Restore Your Smile

Whether you have one tooth in need of advanced treatment or several problems that should be resolved, our practice can make significant dental work easier with a full mouth reconstruction plan. This plan will be arranged with your specific health issues and scheduling needs in mind, making it easier for you to fit in all of the services that you require.
