PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Teeth with advanced bone loss are loose, may be infected, and usually start to drift. These teeth require extraction.
TOOTH DECAY
Teeth with advanced decay that has advanced into the root structure may not be restorable, these teeth will require extraction.
IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH
Teeth that are trapped in the jaw bone may cause damage to the adjacent teeth and may become infected. These usually require extraction.
ABSCESS
Teeth with large abscesses that caused bone loss usually can not be restored. The recommendation is the extraction of the infected tooth.
An immediate denture is delivered immediately after the extraction of the teeth. It acts as a bandage and promotes healing. After 6 months this immediate denture is permanently relined, at an additional expense.
A permanent denture is delivered 2-3 months after the extraction of the teeth. This allows for more healing and the fabrication of a more stable denture.
Advantages: It is not as costly as an immediate denture.
Disadvantages: You may have to go without teeth for as long as 8 weeks
