This patient presented with failed root canals and a jawbone infection, necessitating the extraction of both front teeth. To preserve as much of her upper jawbone as possible, we performed bone grafts after extracting the teeth. Once she had fully healed, we utilized CAD/CAM software to meticulously plan her implant surgery on the computer. What we had anticipated to be a two-hour procedure was accomplished in just ten minutes, thanks to our advanced planning and precise execution of the tooth implant in Palm Beach Gardens. Following the implant placement, she underwent another healing period before we crafted custom crowns that seamlessly matched the shade and shape of her adjacent natural teeth. The patient expressed great satisfaction with the final outcome, as the implant-supported crowns appeared even more lifelike and natural than her original front teeth. Our team's expertise and commitment to utilizing the latest technologies ensured a successful and aesthetically pleasing result.

Whether you need a one off extraction or several teeth removed in preparation for additional services, your treatment plan is created specifically for you and your needs. You doctor will discuss all options and give you the final sign off so we can get your smile back on track in the way that makes you most comfortable.
After cleaning and sanitizing the site, your doctor will numb the area with local anesthesia. Depending on your case, you may only need local anesthesia for your extraction. However, we also offer nitrous oxide to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during treatment.
The extraction itself usually only takes a few minutes. Once the tooth has been pulled, your dentist will clean the area and suture the extraction site if necessary. Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks. Your dentist in Palm Beach Gardens will provide you with a comprehensive set of instructions to help your mouth heal as quickly as possible.
In many cases, we will recommend a bone graft after an extraction. By performing a ridge preservation graft, we can fill the space left by the extracted tooth to maintain the integrity of your jawbone. Not only does this help preserve your bone, it can also provide a solid foundation for a dental implant in the future.
Extractions that are required to remove impacted wisdom teeth, or damaged or decayed teeth, are typically covered by insurance. To fully understand your coverage and benefits, we recommend that you contact your insurance provider.
Thanks to numbing and sedation treatments, you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during or immediately after your extraction procedure. However, symptoms such as pain, discomfort, swelling, bruising, and bleeding may begin to arise within a few hours following your extraction. While these symptoms tend to peak within the first 2-3 days, they will begin to fade as you continue to heal. Make sure to eat a diet of mostly soft foods for about 5-7 days after your treatment to prevent impact and agitation.
It will take about 2-4 weeks to completely heal from the extraction. By carefully following the recovery instructions provided to you by your dentist, you can enhance the healing progress. It is not normal to endure severe pain and discomfort 2-4 weeks after your extraction, so contact your dentist for a follow-up appointment if you are experiencing these symptoms.
Tooth extractions may be necessary for patients suffering from an extremely severe cavity, severe damage from oral trauma, or an infected tooth that cannot be saved with root canal therapy. In most cases, it is possible to save your tooth with a crown or root canal therapy, but sometimes an extraction may be your only option.
Improper wisdom teeth growth is the most common reason for tooth extractions. If your dentist sees that your wisdom teeth are impacted or failing to erupt properly, an extraction may be recommended to ensure that your other teeth remain healthy. Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth to be removed, however. Consult with your dentist to find out if your wisdom teeth are or will be a problem.
A tooth extraction may be required if severe periodontal disease is compromising the health of the tooth, causing it to loosen from the gums. Your dentist may want to extract these teeth to prepare you for a strong and long-lasting tooth replacement option, such as dental implants or dentures.
