Tooth extraction

When it is possible and appropriate, preserving a natural tooth is generally preferred. Some situations may nonetheless make extraction necessary.

A tooth extraction may be considered when a tooth is too damaged to be restored, in the presence of certain infections, or when its position or condition poses a risk to your oral health.

Before proceeding with an extraction, your dentist assesses the tooth, the surrounding tissues and your overall situation. X-rays may also be required in order to plan the procedure.

We then take the time to explain how the extraction will proceed, along with the recommendations to follow afterward to support good healing.

Wisdom teeth assessment

Wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth generally appear at the back of the mouth, and their development can vary considerably from one person to another.

Some come in normally and cause no problems. Others may lack space, remain partially or completely impacted, or be positioned in a way that calls for monitoring or a procedure.

An assessment makes it possible to check:

  • The position of the wisdom teeth
  • The space available for them to come in
  • Their development
  • The health of the surrounding teeth and tissues
  • The presence of pain, inflammation or other problems
  • Whether or not an extraction should be considered

Having wisdom teeth therefore does not automatically mean they need to be removed. Your dentist will assess your situation and can explain whether extraction of the wisdom teeth is recommended.

Dental implants

Replacing a missing tooth with a lasting solution

Losing a tooth can affect chewing, the appearance of your smile and the balance of your bite.

A dental implant is one option that may be considered to replace one or more missing teeth. It acts as an artificial root onto which a dental restoration can then be placed.

Because every situation is different, an assessment is needed to determine whether dental implants are an appropriate option for you.

Your dentist can assess your oral health, the area where the tooth is missing and the various replacement possibilities.

How much does a dental implant cost?

The cost of implant treatment varies according to several factors, including the number of implants required, the type of restoration planned and any additional procedures that may be needed in your situation.

Following your assessment, we can walk you through the different stages of treatment along with an estimate suited to your situation.
