Sometimes, removing a tooth may be the best option, certainly if it’s causing problems.
A tooth may need to be extracted due to decay, an abscess, gum disease, trauma or simply overcrowding.
The gap left behind after a tooth extraction can be filled using a number of different methods:
A bridge can be applied that’s anchored either side of the missing tooth/teeth to fill the gap.
We can place a dental implant in the gap to ensure it’s not noticeable.
Where multiple teeth have been extracted a full or partial denture may be fitted.
Your dentist will discuss the most suitable option with you.
