Tooth Implant

Extractions are always our last resort at Quentin Smile Dental. When a tooth is simply unrestorable and has poor long-term prognosis an extraction is recommended. Extractions are achieved under ample amount of anesthesia. Once a tooth is extracted there are multiple options given to replace it. The first option is to always do nothing. That is always an option. However, if nothing is done, teeth will tend to drift into contact and this may cause malocclusion (improper bite) which may eventually lead to gum recession, foot pocketing, and decay.
