Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best option for your oral health.

 

During an extraction the area is completely numbed to keep you comfortable. The tooth is gently loosened and removed.

 

After the extraction, our team will provide you with care instructions to help your mouth heal quickly and comfortably.

 

When a tooth is missing, your other teeth may start to shift into the empty space. This can lead to misalignment, difficulty chewing or even further dental issues. 

 

To prevent this from happening, we recommend replacing the missing tooth to keep your smile healthy and aligned. Here are a few options:

• dental implant

• dental bridge

​​​​​

Dental Implant

Consider a dental implant restored with a crown to provide a permanent and natural looking solution.  We refer you to a periodontist to have the implant placed and we will see you in our office to put a final crown on the implant once it is healed. 

​

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge can replace the missing tooth and is crafted right here at Nordstrom Dental with our same-day bridge technology. 

 

Both options restore your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence. Call us today to discuss which option is right for you. ​​
