After The Extraction: What’s Next For My Smile?

Posted by

Deciding to agree to the tooth extraction you require may take up just a bit of your mental energy. As a result, the last thing you want to do is start fretting about what may be next for your smile once the removal is complete! Fortunately, there is absolutely no need for stress, tension, anxiety, fretting, etc. Your smile will be just fine and the next step will be something we cover extensively with you, so you know what to expect. For a head start, match up your type of removal with what likely comes afterward.

If They Were Wisdom Teeth

If you have your wisdom teeth taken out with tooth extractions, then the only thing that’s next is recovering from this very common procedure and then living your life as usual. There’s no “next step” for your smile because this a treatment that requires no follow-up treatment. Translation: You didn’t need those pesky third molars anyway, so replacements will not be required or even suggested.

If It Was For A Larger Plan

Maybe you had a tooth extraction (or extractions) for a larger plan. If it was to make room for a full denture, then that will be next on the list. However, if it was for something like making room for aligning an overcrowded smile, then you certainly won’t need to replace those teeth. The next step is likely moving forward with orthodontics.

If Your Tooth Had Problems

If your tooth had some serious issues, then your tooth removal is likely going to be followed up with a plan to restore the missing tooth. Talk with us about a partial, bridge, or implant. Your smile will be back to its usual, healthy self in no time.
