Dental Implants and Extractions

Expert Dental Surgical Treatments Available in the DFW Area

You only get a single set of adult teeth. If you’ve lost teeth to decay or trauma, you may think bridges and partial dentures are your only replacement option. But now there is another choice—dental implants.

Dental implants take the place of the tooth root. A crown is then placed on top of the implant, restoring the area back to full normal function. The crown/implant is the closest facsimile of a natural tooth. An implant is preferable to a bridge because other teeth next to the site don’t have to be prepared for crowns and patients are able to floss the area just as they would their original teeth.

Extractions

Tooth pain can be agonizing, and sometimes the best approach is for Dr. Moss to remove an infected or damaged tooth. If you find yourself needing to have a tooth removed, rest assured that before any treatment is performed, Dr. Moss will discuss all your restorative and sedation options. Your comfort during this—and any—procedure is our primary concern.

Once the troublesome tooth is removed, patients usually find that their dental pain is relieved. Dr. Moss is also happy to discuss replacement options for your extracted tooth, such as a dental implant.
