What happens after a tooth extraction?

Are you in need of a tooth extraction and have questions about what happens next? Watch this video by experienced Pittsburgh implant dentist Dr. Donald Brockley as he explains your options for replacing your missing tooth following a dental extraction. 

In our office, we will do everything we can to save your teeth, but sometimes it’s just not possible. We routinely extract teeth and place mini dental implants immediately into the extraction sites. Along with PRF, we find that we have great success in placing an implant at the same time that the tooth is extracted, along with a temporary crown, replacing the missing tooth.

If you or someone you love needs a tooth extracted, meet with Dr. Donald Brockley to learn about what happens after your tooth is extracted and what your options are for replacing the tooth.

The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

Half The Size

Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

Half The Cost

In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.

Preserves Bone Structure

Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

Immediate Results

Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

No More Decay

Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
