Every dentist aims to save your teeth whenever possible. Preventive dentistry is crucial in maintaining teeth health and detecting oral diseases early. In case of issues like oral disease or a broken tooth, restorative options are available. However, in extreme circumstances, a tooth may need to be extracted. If you are searching for a dental office near you in the Winnetka area of Los Angeles, California, we invite you to contact our team at Royal Dental Practice. We offer oral surgery options, including extraction.
Dental Extraction
Finding a trustworthy team is crucial if you need to have a tooth removed because of oral disease, infection, or impaction (especially with wisdom teeth). Dr. Roya Shoffet and our skilled team are here to provide oral surgery, including extractions. Our primary aim is to save your tooth, but that may not always be possible. If repair is not feasible or there is a risk of infection, an extraction may be necessary.
Why May A Tooth Require Extraction?
Your tooth may require extraction if:
- A tooth has become irreparably damaged due to extensive, untreated tooth decay
- Advanced gum disease has led to loosened teeth and infection
- A tooth has become impacted and requires extraction. It is common for wisdom teeth as they try to emerge through the gums
- Your teeth are overcrowded, and space is needed to prevent future oral health issues
- A tooth has taken extensive damage due to physical trauma and cannot be saved
Dental Implants
Our team also offers dental implants as a form of oral surgery. If you have lost a tooth, it is essential to seek a replacement. Dental implants are a popular option. Dr. Shoffet and an expert periodontist perform this surgical procedure in our office. However, you must have enough healthy jawbone to support the implant. If not, we can discuss a bone graft.
A dental implant is inserted into the jawbone and fuses with the bone through osseointegration. Subsequently, an artificial tooth, like a crown, is attached. This is the best tooth replacement option as it replaces the tooth above and below the gum line.
