Regular Tooth Extraction

Regular tooth extraction is a common dental procedure where a tooth is completely removed from its socket due to decay, disease, crowding, or injury. While our primary goal is always to save your natural teeth when possible, sometimes an dental extraction is the best option for your overall oral health.

Our experienced team ensures the extraction process is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We offer oral conscious sedation to make the extraction pain-free and keep patients relaxed.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom Teeth Removal is a common dental procedure, typically needed during the late teens or early twenties. As the third molars emerge, they can become impacted due to limited space in the jaw, causing a range of potential oral health issues. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, damage to surrounding teeth, and other complications that may require extraction.

The process for wisdom teeth extraction varies depending on the position of your teeth and the severity of the impaction. Our experienced dental team will carefully assess your situation and create a customized treatment plan to ensure the most effective and comfortable procedure. Whether your wisdom teeth are fully impacted or partially erupted, we will guide you through the process with care and precision.

After the procedure, we’ll provide detailed post-operative instructions to help reduce discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery. Our goal is to make your wisdom teeth removal experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort from your wisdom teeth, don’t wait—contact us today to schedule a consultation and get the relief you need.

Oral Conscious Sedation

It involves taking a prescribed sedative before the procedure, allowing you to remain conscious but deeply relaxed throughout the extraction process. This method significantly enhances patient comfort, ensuring a smoother, stress-free dental experience.

Tooth Replacement Options

When a tooth is extracted due to infection, decay, or injury, it’s important to replace it to maintain your oral health. Tooth replacement not only restores your smile, but it also helps prevent issues like gum infections, shifting teeth, and discomfort. We offer a range of effective tooth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to ensure that you can restore both function and appearance after an extraction.

Replacing a missing tooth is essential for maintaining proper alignment and preventing further complications. Our team will work with you to choose the best replacement option based on your needs, ensuring a long-lasting and comfortable solution.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row. Dental bridges effectively “bridge” the gap created by a missing tooth. The tooth bridge procedure involves placing a dental crown on each of the adjacent natural teeth, with a prosthetic tooth, or pontic, attached in between. This design provides sturdy support and restores your smile seamlessly.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a durable, long-term solution for restoring your smile and preserving your oral health. Not only do they help maintain proper teeth alignment, but they also strengthen the jawbone and protect the site of a missing tooth from harmful bacteria.

The dental implant procedure begins with the placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which bonds with the bone over time, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root. Once the implant is securely integrated, a custom dental prosthetic, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, is placed on top to complete the restoration. This process provides a strong, permanent solution that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

Traditional & Implant Supported Dentures

If you’re missing multiple teeth and looking for a flexible, reliable solution, removable dentures could be a great option. These dentures are easy to snap on and off your gums, offering a comfortable and convenient way to restore your smile.

At Chattanooga Center for Comprehensive Dentistry, we offer both traditional removable dentures and implant-supported dentures. Traditional dentures rest directly on your gums and can be easily removed for cleaning. They are a cost-effective, non-invasive solution for restoring your smile and chewing function.

Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, are anchored to dental implants, providing added stability and preventing slippage. These dentures offer improved chewing ability and a more secure fit, giving you confidence when speaking and eating. Whether you choose traditional or implant-supported dentures, we’ll help you find the best option for your needs.

Implant-supported dentures provide superior comfort, enhanced stability, and a permanent solution, eliminating the need for removable dentures. They are ideal for patients who want a more secure, low-maintenance alternative to traditional dentures and a restoration that lasts for many years.
