What do you need to know after you have a tooth extracted?

Creating an extra space in your mouth can have some lingering side effects on your overall smile. The surrounding teeth tend to lean and drift out of their normal alignment, creating a chain reaction across your bite, even extending to the opposing arch of teeth.

As part of your extraction treatment plan, we’ll suggest appropriate options (such as a bridge or dental implant) to replace your tooth as quickly as possible. Although aesthetics may not be your primary concern, we ultimately want to maintain the health and function of your remaining teeth.
