Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth that have become unrestorable through dental decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma when they are associated with a toothache. In orthodontics, healthy teeth may be extracted to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.
Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone in order to serve the function of tooth roots. Afterward, a prosthesis is placed on the implant to restore chewing function, whether it would be a removable denture or a fixed crown.
