Missing a Tooth? What to Know About Extractions, Bridges, and Implants in San Mateo

There are many reasons a tooth may need to be removed—from trauma and decay to infection or overcrowding. At Fiori Dental in San Mateo, Drs. Jane and Anthony Ferrera provide expert tooth extractions and replacement options like dental bridges and dental implants to restore your smile and confidence.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

A dental extraction is often recommended when a tooth is:

  • Severely decayed or infected
  • Cracked beyond repair
  • Causing crowding or bite issues
  • Impacted (such as wisdom teeth)

We offer gentle, stress-free extractions using local anesthesia and sedation options when needed. Our San Mateo dental team will make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

What Happens After a Tooth Extraction?

Once a tooth is removed, it’s important to replace it to avoid bone loss, shifting of nearby teeth, or bite changes. At Fiori Dental, we offer two popular options for restoring your smile:

1. Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a non-surgical solution that uses adjacent teeth to support an artificial tooth in the gap. It’s a fast, effective way to restore function and aesthetics after extraction.

2. Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most durable and natural-feeling replacement for missing teeth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone and topped with a custom crown. Implants also help prevent bone loss by stimulating the jaw.

Which Option is Right for You?

Both dental bridges and implants have their benefits. During your consultation, Dr. Ferrera will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and smile goals to determine the best treatment for you. In some cases, a bridge may be ideal; in others, an implant may offer a more permanent solution.
