When Tooth Extractions Improve Oral Health
As an experienced periodontist, Dr. Robert Faiella has extensive expertise in preserving the health and integrity of teeth, bone and periodontal structures. In some cases, however, certain teeth are beyond repair and require tooth extractions in order to improve a patient’s oral health. Dr. Faiella is highly skilled at performing gentle tooth extraction in Duxbury and Osterville, MA for painful, damaged or hopeless teeth with extreme precision and little effect on surrounding tissues. Throughout the extraction procedure, he and our team are committed to ensuring your comfort and safety, and keep you informed of the progress every step of the way.
Preserve Jawbone Health Following Tooth Extractions
When teeth are removed from the jaw, sockets (or spaces in the bone) remain that were occupied by tooth roots. Dr. Faiella often performs socket preservation immediately following tooth extractions, which is a bone grafting procedure that adds bone tissue directly to these open spaces. Socket preservation prevents the bone from collapsing inward after tooth extractions and preserves missing teeth sites for future replacement with dental implants.
Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions
- Advanced bone loss
- Tooth pain
- Abscessed teeth
- Irreparably broken teeth
- Impacted teeth
- Severe tooth decay
- Retained baby teeth
- Orthodontic treatment
- Preparation for dental implant
Replace Extracted Teeth with Lifelike Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard of care in tooth replacement and are preferred for their numerous long-term benefits. If you require tooth extractions, Dr. Faiella can help you determine if dental implants are right for your needs and may be able to perform tooth extractions and place single, multiple or full arch dental implants during the same visit. As a board-certified periodontist and skilled implant surgeon, Dr. Faiella is the expert many dentists and patients alike turn to for precision tooth extractions and implant placement. He works closely with general dentists and prosthodontists to effectively restore the oral health and smiles of our patients.
Do not let tooth pain keep you from enjoying a healthy, comfortable smile.
