Implants, extractions and oral surgery
When a tooth cannot be saved, you deserve a clear plan for what comes next. Dr. Ed walks you through every option for replacing it, with the fee for each.
Care in this area
-
Dental implants
A titanium post in the jawbone that holds a crown, replacing a missing tooth without touching the teeth next to it.
-
Tooth extractions
Including wisdom teeth. Always the last resort, done under local anesthetic, with a plan for the space afterward.
-
Bone grafts
Rebuilding bone in the jaw so there is enough to hold an implant, or to preserve the shape of the ridge after an extraction.
-
Periodontal surgery
Treatment for damage to the gums and supporting bone caused by advanced gum disease.
Questions people ask us
Implant or bridge, which is better?
It depends on the health of the teeth beside the gap, the bone you have, and your budget. An implant leaves neighboring teeth untouched; a bridge is often faster. Dr. Ed will explain both for your mouth, with the cost of each.
Do I have to replace a tooth after it is taken out?
Not always, but a gap can let neighboring teeth tip and shift over time. We will talk about the options, including waiting, before the tooth comes out.
