Let's C U Smile Dentistry provides expert care for simple surgical procedures aimed at preserving your natural teeth and ensuring optimal oral health. Tooth extractions, often required for wisdom teeth or severely damaged and decayed teeth, are performed efficiently by Dr. Haynes. This relatively quick procedure involves rocking and rotating the tooth for easy extraction. While patients may experience dull pressure, the process is virtually pain-free. Post-operation instructions are given, and a follow-up check after a week ensures the stable healing of the extraction site. To address the gap left by extracted teeth, Dr. Haynes discusses replacement options like implants, bridges, or removable dentures during this process.

For patients experiencing jaw bone weakening due to tooth loss, bone grafting is a crucial procedure. This involves adding bone to the jaw to increase mass and enhance the success of dental implants. Bone grafting is often performed concurrently with tooth extraction and typically takes about 30 minutes. Let's C U Smile Dentistry prioritizes saving natural teeth whenever possible, emphasizing the importance of addressing missing teeth promptly to prevent shifts in surrounding teeth that may alter the bite and cause jaw problems.

Implants are a transformative solution offered by Let's C U Smile Dentistry for replacing missing teeth. Whether it's a single tooth, several teeth, or all teeth, dental implants provide a durable and aesthetic restoration. Dr. Haynes conducts a comprehensive implant work-up, involving specific details, measurements, and necessary X-rays. The surgical placement of the implant is followed by post-operation checks over approximately four months, ensuring proper bone regeneration. The process involves multiple appointments, and while healing times may vary, the result justifies the wait. The team at Let's C U Smile Dentistry ensures that every patient is fully informed and comfortable throughout the implant procedure.
