Sometimes, you may have a problem that requires a tooth to come out. It could be an accident. It could be advanced dental decay.

We do all we can to keep your teeth healthy. It’s far simpler and less expensive for you to work with your natural teeth than to get replacement teeth.

When a tooth simply needs to come out, we use our experience and teamwork to extract it quickly and painlessly. Call Parkview Dental today to get if you have a damaged tooth, a hurting tooth, or a problem with wisdom teeth, so we can help you find a great solution.

Oral Surgery Dentist Gilbert

There are a few main reasons that oral surgery is necessary, including:

• Accidental Damage: If an accident has damaged your tooth to the point that it can’t be restored to normal function, extracting it may be your only option.
• Impacted Teeth: When a tooth can’t grow in normally because it’s stuck under another tooth, a bone, or gums, it is impacted. This is common with wisdom teeth. We’ll bring in a sedation dentist who can administer anesthesia during a wisdom tooth extraction.
• Infection or Decay: Advanced cases of infection or decay can destroy the functionality of a tooth beyond repair. An extraction will get it out of the way for a replacement and prevent the infection from spreading.
• Crowding: Sometimes a growing tooth can push other teeth aside and even damage them. We may need to extract the growing tooth before this happens.

Oral surgery for extractions can relieve these problems before they progress too far. Dr. Schmidt can perform simple and complex extractions here at Parkview Dental. We also bring in dental surgical partners for some cases that may require general anesthesia instead of localized numbing. You can almost always get the procedure done here at one convenient location rather than zooming around town to different dental offices.

Because we’re committed to your whole health and happiness, we can also discuss your options for tooth replacement if you require an extraction. We want you to be complete!

Bone Grafting Specialist Gilbert, AZ

When we’re preparing to place a dental implant—basically, a new titanium tooth root—which is surgically implanted in the jaw bone, sometimes we find that a patient’s jaw bone doesn’t have enough healthy bone to hold the implant steady.

To promote a successful extraction or implant, Dr. Schmidt may be able to perform a bone graft procedure. This is a very important procedure. Bone material is added at the extraction site and/or implant site. This will limit the jawbone and gums from shrinking away after surgery.

The bone graft procedure will also promote a less painful and faster healing time! The graft will eventually be transformed into your own native bone to hold the implant firmly in place. Now the implant can permanently support dentures, a custom-made crown, or a bridge.
