With CeraSmile®, you can regain your beautiful, functional smile in just a few appointments. You don’t have to live the rest of your life with missing teeth.
Find out if it’s time to get your bad teeth extracted and why you should replace them with CeraSmile®.
Signs You Need an Extraction
You might wonder if you actually need to get an extraction. In some cases, you won’t need an extraction and you will need a root canal and dental crown instead.
Discover some of the signs you might need an extraction.
Pain
Pain is usually one of the first possible signs you need to extract a tooth. When a tooth is in severe pain, it’s usually an indication that there’s an infection or damage. If you experience persisting pain that suddenly goes away, that doesn’t mean you’re healed. It’s usually a sign of an infected tooth pulp. When the infection goes too long without treatment, it’s no longer reversible and will require extraction.
Pain can also be associated with severe damage like a crack in the tooth. If the crack is really deep, it can cause the tooth pulp to become infected which can require an extraction.
Trauma
Getting into a car accident or taking a bad fall can result in severe tooth trauma. If the damage is significant enough, you will either require a root canal or extraction and replacement.
Infection
If infected teeth or gums go untreated for too long, the infection can cause bone loss which can make your teeth come loose and require an extraction. If a tooth is also infected beyond treatment, it will also require extraction.
Bone Loss
Most bone loss is the result of untreated infections like gum disease or an infected tooth. It also naturally occurs after you lose a tooth. When there isn’t sufficient bone to support your teeth, you will need an extraction.
Repeat Cavities
If a tooth continues to get cavities repeatedly, at some point there will not be enough natural tooth left which means the tooth won’t be strong or healthy enough to function properly. At this point, you will need to either get a dental crown or have it extracted.
Declining Oral Health
If your oral health continues to decline and you already have several missing teeth, there comes a point where it makes more sense to extract your remaining teeth than continue to try and treat them.
Why Extractions are Sometimes Necessary
Teeth aren’t always saveable. When damage, infection, or bone loss occur, sometimes there is no choice but to extract the tooth. For patients with repeat cavities or continuously declining oral health, it becomes cheaper to extract the remaining teeth and have them replaced than continuing to treat them.
Choose a Tooth Replacement Option In Advance
If you know that you need an extraction, it’s important to stay ahead of the curve by choosing a tooth replacement option in advance. That way, you never have to worry about walking around with missing teeth or figuring out what to eat when you only have limited teeth.
When you figure out your tooth replacement option in advance, you can also prevent yourself from experiencing bone resorption if you choose an option with dental implants. Bone resorption can cause premature aging such as loose sagging skin, and wrinkles around the mouth.
Why CeraSmile®
One of the best tooth replacement options on the market today is CeraSmile®. CeraSmile® is an implant bridge that’s designed with neuromuscular principles to provide the best support possible to your facial structure. The design allows patients to retain more natural bone than with other implant bridges on the market. It’s also made with top-tier ceramic material, yttria-stabilized zirconia, which is even stronger than titanium in dental implants.
The end result is a beautiful, functional, and long-lasting tooth replacement option that can shave years off your appearance. Best of all, the treatment only takes one day. Your dentist can likely also place your dental implants the same day as your extractions.
Never worry about whether or not you can eat your favorite foods, or if your replacement teeth will fall out ever again.
