The goal of dentistry is to preserve your teeth as long as possible while keeping your body healthy. Unfortunately, sometimes tooth extraction will provide the best outcome for your oral health. Dr. Andre and the Gentle Dental Care team offer painless teeth extractions services, as well as replace your missing teeth.
No one wants to deal with tooth loss, and in many cases root canal therapy can prevent tooth loss. Dr. Andre and Dr Thatcher can offer relief to pain and sensitivity if the infection hasn’t traveled to the bone. However, even if the disease has reached the bone, there are still methods to preserve your teeth and prevent extraction. A bone graft can provide your tooth the support it needs to stay in place, and dental crowns can protect your tooth from further damage. Additionally, gum disease treatment can save your mouth from further damage.
However, in some cases, your tooth may be too damaged to risk keeping it. The dentists will evaluate your case carefully and recommend the best option for your overall health. If you do need a tooth extraction, she can address the issue as soon as possible and help you minimize discomfort in the meantime.
