Tooth extraction refers to the removal of a tooth. While we always aim to avoid extracting a tooth whenever possible, there are certain situations where extraction may be the best option for restoring your smile to good health and function.
Certain situations may necessitate tooth extractions, including severe infections that have inflicted considerable damage to the tooth and surrounding bone, severe decay that has rendered the tooth irreparable, and crowding, which happens when there are too many teeth for the mouth to accommodate properly.
Wisdom teeth extractions involve removing one or more impacted wisdom teeth. They are necessary when there is insufficient space for the teeth to grow correctly, leading to complications.
This surgical procedure is extensive, and we may use sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the wisdom tooth extraction process.
Bone grafting helps increase the density and volume of the jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. Dental bone grafts are crucial when a decrease in bone mass affects the jaw.
They can be performed before the placement of dental implants, after tooth extractions, in cases of gum disease, and for other various reasons. Dental bone grafting helps maintain space within the jaw, allowing the body to initiate its natural healing processes.
A sinus lift procedure elevates the maxillary sinus and creates extra space for new bone formation. The maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities directly above the upper jaw’s back part (maxilla). By raising the sinus and introducing bone material into the newly created space, the procedure increases the bone volume needed for the successful placement of a dental implant.
Ridge Augmentation is a post-tooth extraction periodontal surgery that restores the natural contour of gums and jawbone. This oral surgery treatment corrects depressions or creases in the gum tissue caused by the extraction or other factors by using bone graft material to rebuild the deficient area.
Dental implant surgery offers a solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth with artificial replacements that look and function naturally. This procedure involves surgically placing metal posts into the jawbone to support custom-made crowns. Methuen, MA, residents who have lost permanent teeth due to decay, disease, or injury may be good candidates for dental implant surgery.
