There are many reasons you may be suffering from tooth pain. While many dental problems can be corrected and cured with traditional dental procedures, some procedures may require tooth extractions to realize full relief.
Obviously, tooth extractions are only recommended after careful consideration, or as part of other complicated dental procedures. Dr. Quigless will only decide on tooth extractions after a thorough examination and consideration of all available treatment options.
Some of the reasons Dr. Quigless may recommend tooth extractions include:
Once a tooth is extracted, your surrounding teeth will shift to fill in the gap. The missing tooth must be replaced with a dental implant, a bridge, or other teeth must be moved into position to close the gaps with a procedure like instant orthodontia. A gap between your teeth can cause deterioration of the underlying bone if it is not filled in properly.
When considering tooth extractions, it is important to find a dentist who will consider your overall dental health and aesthetic appearance. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Quigless takes your entire dental picture into consideration and plans your tooth restorations using a holistic approach.
