There are several reasons why we may recommend tooth extraction, including:

* Severe Tooth Decay
* Advanced Gum Disease
* Chronic Infection
* Fractured Roots
* Toothaches and Abscessed Teeth
* Denture Treatments
* Orthodontic Therapy

Extracting a tooth isn’t always a good idea, but in some cases, it can be necessary to preserve the oral tissues around it and protect the rest of your teeth. When restorative treatment cannot save the tooth, or has failed and left the tooth more seriously afflicted, tooth extraction might be the most effective option. In most cases, however, the next step should be to replace the tooth, since tooth loss in any form could prove detrimental to your long-term good oral health.

Because leaving the space empty can cause expensive complications later on. Your other teeth will start to drift or shift out of place due to the extra space. This can change the way your teeth bite together, straining your jaws and even causing fillings or crowns to wear out prematurely. That’s why Value Smiles offers affordable tooth replacements like dental bridges and dental implants.

Frenectomy Procedure

There are many ways to perform a frenectomy, but they all are fairly straightforward procedure and heal in a relatively short amount of time. The common frenectomy procedure is done with a scalpel or scissors. It is pretty simply when a dentist uses an incision to release the frenum and excise it. The immediate area will be numbed usually with a topical anesthetic, and sometimes in young children laughing gas will be used to relax the patient. Depending on how much of frenum is severed or removed, there may be sutures to re-position the tissue. Usually dissolves sutures will be sufficient.
