If a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction is often the best option for preventing the spread of infection and eliminating discomfort. While our dentists commonly perform tooth extraction in people of all ages, more complex cases often require advanced surgical skills.
During a standard tooth extraction procedure, we gently remove your infected or failing tooth without disturbing the surrounding healthy bone or gum tissue. If a tooth hasn’t fully erupted, this may require cutting gum tissue around the tooth, extracting it, and suturing the incision closed with self-dissolving stitches.
Although most people eventually develop a total of 32 permanent adult teeth, wisdom tooth extraction is often necessary due to a lack of space in the back of the jaw. When inadequate space prevents third molars from erupting, leaving them in can cause pain, infection, cysts, or damage to adjacent teeth.
When we remove wisdom teeth in Westminster, CO, this may require cutting the gums and extracting teeth in several smaller pieces, followed by sutures. As with other oral surgery procedures, we’ll provide preoperative and postoperative guidelines to ensure complication-free wisdom tooth extraction.
It’s common to experience progressive bone loss after losing a tooth until the bone is completely resorbed. As such, bone grafting is a common preliminary procedure that helps patients with inadequate bone qualify for dental implants.
This specialized type of oral surgery involves replacing bone in your jaw to restore adequate volume, density, and height. After the donor material is placed and your gums are sutured closed, the area is allowed to heal for a few months to allow the bone grafting material to fuse with your jawbone.
Your maxillary sinuses are empty, air-filled spaces located behind your cheeks and on top of your upper teeth. Some of the roots of your natural upper teeth extend into this area, and when they’re removed, a thin wall of bone is all that separates them from your mouth.
During a sinus lift, we make an incision, gently lift the sinus membrane, cut a small window in the bone, and then fill the space with bone graft material. The incision is closed, and new bone integrates over several months, thereby enabling successful placement of implants in your upper arch.
When a tooth is removed, an empty socket remains in the alveolar ridge bone, the bone that surrounds your tooth roots. This type of bone grafting recreates the natural contour of soft and hard tissue that was altered as a result of tooth loss. Rebuilding the original height and width of the alveolar ridge may not be medically necessary, but it is required for dental implant placement or aesthetic purposes.
