Extractions

As periodontists, our job is to save teeth whenever possible. We understand that losing teeth can be scary, however tooth extractions are a routine procedure at Idaho Perio. We remove teeth that are not salvageable due to disease, trauma, impactions, fractured root surfaces and many other abnormalities. At your consultation we will discuss with you the options you have to replace the missing tooth. If you need a tooth extracted in your smile line, we will work closely with your general dentist to make sure you have a temporary tooth fabricated until your permanent restoration can be completed. Dental implants are generally the gold standard of care for single tooth replacement. If you plan to replace the tooth with an implant, we will place a bone graft in the empty socket at the time of the extraction. Other options may be a bridge, partial denture or no replacement at all. Our doctors will provide you with what options may work best for your specific case.
