Dr. Bishop prioritizes saving your tooth but may resort to extractions when necessary for oral health preservation. Following tooth removal, we may consider filling the area with a Bridge, implant, or full or partial denture once the site has healed.
Extraction becomes necessary when a tooth undergoes extensive decay, leading to significant pain and discomfort. Moreover, this decay can prompt infection, potentially spreading to neighboring teeth or other oral areas, thereby necessitating prompt intervention.
Extractions might be necessary if a tooth is decayed or cracked. Dental implants are a removable tool in the replacement of missing teeth. With a fifty year history, implants are a central part of our restorative building blocks. I have been restoring dental implants since 1987. This gives me the benefit of seeing first hand what works best, and what our current best options are.
Since their introduction, an incredible amount of knowledge and advanced innovation have brought these restorations to use in daily applications. In short, techniques not materials are better and simpler making them long lasting , predictable, and more affordable than ever before.

A straightforward extraction is a minor procedure typically conducted on an outpatient basis, utilizing local, general, or a combination of anesthesia. However, more complex extractions, such as impacted or broken teeth, wisdom teeth, or those situated below the gum line, may necessitate a more intricate surgical approach.
