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.
A dental extraction is often recommended when a tooth is:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Whether you need a gentle tooth extraction or a long-lasting tooth replacement, our experienced San Mateo dental team is here to help. We use advanced technology and a compassionate approach to make your experience smooth and stress-free.
