When a dental extraction is most definitely in your future, you may wonder about what you should be doing to prepare for life after tooth removal. As for the actual recovery, of course, we will provide you with detailed instructions for a speedy healing process, which will prove much easier than you might imagine! Today, what our Conroe, TX team would really like you to realize is that there are some particular choices you can make that will help you very easily get your smile back into exceptional condition (Hint: It just might include replacing that tooth with a dental implant!). Discover more!
#1: Say Goodbye To Your Tooth
To begin, we want you to remember that it’s perfectly okay to have a dental extraction. You may not love the fact that you have to have your tooth removed, you may experience a bit of guilt if you feel responsible for the problem that led to its removal, and there may be additional details involved. However, we want you to remember that when you’re on the other side of this procedure and the tooth is no longer present, it’s time to simply say goodbye to the tooth! Holding on to any guilt or upset will not serve you well. Instead, recognizing that you can move on, restore your smile, and feel wonderful again is the way to go!
#2: Receive An Implant As Quickly As Possible
Something else we suggest you consider after you receive a dental extraction is to replace necessary teeth (as in, those teeth other than your wisdom teeth) as soon as you can. We offer dental implants, which will replace your roots and will then offer exceptional support to a restoration, such as a dental crown (or, if you are having multiple teeth extracted, you may receive multiple implants to support crowns or a larger prosthetic like a bridge). When you follow through on this right away, you can look forward to protecting your smile from some of the potential side effects of missing a tooth, which may include teeth that move out of place, problems associated with the more difficult hygiene you may deal with, and jawbone deterioration.
#3: Ask For Help Avoiding Additional Tooth Loss
If you feel like you need some help figuring out how to keep your remaining teeth, so you don’t deal with problems that lead to extractions and a need for dental implants, just ask. We will be happy to help.
