Help! I Need a Tooth Removed in Houston, TX

Have you been told you need to get a tooth removed, and the prospect of such simply terrifies you? If so, you’re not alone. Whether it be impacted wisdom teeth, or a tooth decayed or injured beyond the point of repair, there are many reasons to need to have a tooth removed.

But it doesn’t have to be a frightening experience. At the Antoine Dental Center in Houston, TX we offer pain-free teeth extractions, and a host of other options to help your mouth stay healthy. In today’s blog post, we’re going to look at tooth extractions and describe to exactly what that process entails.

Evaluating The Need for Removal

We will begin by assessing the need to move your tooth. Often times we can repair or a restore a damaged or decayed tooth. However, sometimes the damage to the tooth is too great for this to be a viable option. This is especially true if the tooth in question is preventing you from eating or speaking.

Once we have determined if you need a tooth removed, we can guide you through the process step by step. Sedation dentistry is available for a pain-free procedure that you simply don’t have to worry about.

Removing a Tooth

We begin by taking digital x-rays of your teeth, and on occasion 3D CAT scan images of your mouth. This is gives a detailed look at your tooth, so we can safely remove it in a pain-free manner.

Once we have planned your procedure, we can inform you about the options for sedation dentistry as well as the anesthesia needed for the procedure. We will completely numb the area around the tooth before removing it.

If the crown (top portion) of your tooth is accessible from above your gum line, we can do a quick and simple extraction. But if the tooth is broken, or impacted into your gums, it is possible that we may have to surgically remove the tooth.

Evaluating Wisdom Teeth

 Wisdom teeth are the final teeth to grow into your mouth. They break through your gum line in your late teenage years or your early twenties. You may have problems with your wisdom teeth if they do not fully exit your gums, and are impacted or partially impacted into your gums.

You may need to have your wisdom teeth removed if they are causing you pain or discomfort. Other times, wisdom teeth need to be removed if they are attracting disease and decay; or simply because you do not have enough jaw space for your wisdom teeth.

Replacing Your Removed Tooth

If your tooth is removed for a reason other than a lack of space in your jaw, you may be a candidate for a replacement tooth. Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular option for replacing a missing tooth. For dental implants, we place an artificial root into your gums and then attach an incredibly life-like false tooth in its place.

Dental implants are probably the best option for replacing a tooth, but we have other options available as well. These options include dental bridges and dentures. No matter who you replace a missing tooth, doing so can restore full chewing function and lessen the stress on your remaining teeth.

A Journey to Smile and Success

At our dental clinic, we often witness incredible transformations in the lives of our patients. One such remarkable story is that of Cristina, a determined and passionate individual who underwent a life-changing dental journey with us. From dental implants to lower braces, Cristina’s story is a testament to the power of a confident smile and the pursuit of dreams.

The Dreamer’s Dilemma

Cristina had always been passionate about cooking and sharing her culinary creations with others. Her love for food led her to dream of owning her own food truck, specializing in serving the best Pupusas in Houston. However, a dental issue was holding her back from pursuing her dream.

A Smile That Couldn’t Shine

For years, Cristina had struggled with missing teeth, making it difficult for her to eat her own delicious food creations. She watched her customers relish her dishes while she could only envy their enjoyment. Moreover, her inability to smile confidently made it challenging for her to connect with her customers on a personal level. It was a dream deferred, but Cristina was not ready to give up.

A Dental Transformation Begins

Determined to turn her dream into reality, Cristina sought our dental expertise. We recommended a comprehensive treatment plan that would involve dental implants to replace her missing teeth and lower braces to straighten the ones that could be saved. Cristina was ready to embark on her dental transformation journey.

Rediscovering the Joy of Eating

The dental implant procedure was a game-changer for Cristina. With her new set of teeth, she could finally taste her creations and enjoy the flavors she had been missing out on for so long. The simple act of eating became a joyful experience, and her passion for cooking grew stronger than ever.

A Smile That Radiates Confidence

As Cristina’s lower braces gradually worked their magic, her smile began to transform. No longer shy about her teeth, she radiated confidence and warmth when interacting with her customers. Her newfound self-assurance not only boosted her business but also made her feel like she was living her dream.

The Birth of Houston’s Best Pupusa Food Truck

With her smile restored, her passion for food rekindled, and her confidence at an all-time high, Cristina took the leap and opened her own food truck. Houston was about to experience the best Pupusas it had ever seen. Cristina’s dream had finally come true.

A Journey of Transformation

Cristina’s journey from dental implants to lower braces was truly life-changing. She not only regained her ability to eat and smile but also achieved her dream of becoming a successful food truck owner. Her story reminds us of the incredible impact that dental care can have on a person’s life, and it also serves as a testament to the power of determination and passion.

If you have a dream or a goal that seems out of reach due to dental issues, remember Cristina’s story. With the right dental care and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. At our clinic, we’re here to help you make that journey towards a healthier, happier smile.
