Tooth extractions might be needed for preparing implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges require a sturdy foundation of healthy teeth and gums. If there is insufficient support for the bridge due to missing or damaged teeth, tooth extractions may be necessary to provide the necessary foundation.
Minor discomfort or swelling after an extraction is normal and can be managed with proper care. However, following our post-operative instructions and taking any medication as prescribed can help manage post-operative discomfort and ensure a smoother recovery.
Avoid smoking, using straws, or eating hard foods after your extraction to ensure proper healing. Gently brush the other teeth but avoid direct contact with your extraction site for a few days. Rinse with warm salt water to reduce swelling and keep the area clean during healing.
If a tooth extraction is necessary, Dr. Khoury will work with you to develop a personalized care plan to replace the missing tooth. That way, we can preserve natural bite alignment and normal oral function. We offer several options for tooth replacement, including dental implants and bridges.
Replacing missing teeth prevents neighboring teeth from shifting and maintains proper alignment. Similarly, opposing teeth may drift out of their normal biting pattern. This can also contribute to overall changes in your smile’s symmetry, resulting in irregular tooth wear and aesthetic challenges. Fixed dental implants are a recommended choice for preserving bone density and supporting oral health.
