Can I Get a Dental Implant the Same Time a Tooth Is Extracted?
In this video, Dr. Gloria Stingley explains when same-day implant placement may be possible after a damaged tooth is removed.
There are instances where people may have an accident and lose a front tooth, and want that tooth replaced. In most cases, you cannot do anything unless you place an implant. When trauma first occurs, you do not drill on the adjacent teeth because they may also be traumatized. In this case, today, we can extract the traumatized tooth that has been broken in half and place an implant with bone grafting. The patient can also receive a temporary restoration and look like they never had an accident. So yes, we can perform extraction and implant placement on the same day.

Jaw pain can be incredibly frustrating, but what causes it? This discomfort is usually the result of stress in the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. This is the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull and allows you to speak, chew, and move your mouth comfortably. When the TMJ is overworked, pain, tension, and stiffness take over your [...]
When you get a papercut, your body initiates a healing process right away. First, it stops the bleeding by plugging the small wound with platelets, eventually forming a clot that turns into a scab. Over the next few days, white blood cells migrate to the injury site. These cells clean out bacteria, paving the way for new tissue to [...]
Have you ever thrown a party, and a few guests overstayed their welcome? At first, it’s no big deal. But the longer they linger, the more mess they leave behind and the harder it becomes to restore your home to normal. Gum disease actually works in a similar way. When plaque builds up along your gumline, it brings harmful [...]
Cavities form when the acids in your mouth erode your tooth’s protective enamel, forming a hole in the surface of the tooth.
