Q&A: Implant or Extraction?

by McSkeletor

I’m 14 years ancient and I have a baby tooth which doesn’t have a stable tooth coming up to pop in its place. And I recently got braces, and the dentist told me, I may maybe any have an establish when I turn 18, or I may maybe take out four teeth quicker or later, including the baby tooth. He said time would tell, but I want to know which do you reckon would be better? The pros and cons. Please and Thank you.

This is always a grey area, since you are already in braces you obviously have an orthodontic conundrum and teeth are life went around.

If you have the extractions then the spaces will be closed during your orthodontic treatment.

If you don’t then the baby tooth can remain in your mouth until such a time as its roots life to resorb and then would be the time to have the establish done. The down side of implants is that they can fail there is no guarantee that it will last for your life time and then you will be left with a space where it once was.

Also implants are expensive.

To get a dental establish, the tooth has to be extracted. I reckon your dentist should be able to place a veneer on it to make it larger if it’s a front tooth and then when you have real problems with it, like when the root dies out on it, then get it extracted and place in an establish.

This dentist is making my full high prostisis to connect to my implants. The dentist is making the teeth in his office. I questioned why he wasn’t using denture teeth and the dentist said what he is making at his office is better! there will be no gum section just teeth which will sit right up to my gums. I dont reckon so, or maybe im incorrect? i thought denture teeth are made in a lab using special technics, and they last for 10 to 15 years. mean while the teeth he made still dont look right. The shape of them etc. What shud i do! are teeth made in the dentist office better then persons aquired from manufactures?

It doesn’t matter where they are made. If you are despondent tell your dentist and make him fix them

Depends, in general all the teeth made for dentures are made out of the same material. Some dentists have the capability to make their own prosthesis in their office, which is fine. Most dentists just don’t have time to do this, the gear is expensive, most don’t specialize in making these, and just use labs. I judge I have seen what you are describing. It is a newer practice that involves using implants to hold a set of teeth in place. This way you don’t have to have something covering your palate. It should last just as long. If you aren’t pleased with the shape you should tell him. The lab probably has more specialty in shaping, but this doesn’t mean your dentist can’t do the same. This practice is probably better for your gum health.

The dentist is usually the one who does the impressions for the crowns to be made at a lab, even if some dentist do make their own in office crowns which are just a excellent. Making the crowns for the implants is standard practice for the dentist, just as surgically placing the implants is usually the Oral Surgeons role.

Anytime you are unclear of your dental treatment, just question. You should be informed about every step of the procedure with something as vital and expensive as implants. You should also be able to make any suggestions or changes that you would like, after all, you are the one who has to live with them. Don’t settle for less when it comes to your dental health. Talk everything over with your dentist, he will be pleased to clarify everything to you so that you know and know what to expect.

What you are referring to is an over denture or a q-seal denture that attaches to the implants. It’s an ancient practice that has been updated, I’m sure your dentist will go over it thoroughly when you question and may have one for you to see. If you are despondent with the shape or size of the teeth, any adjustment can be made during a try in session. So don’t worry, the temporary you are wearing is not near as precise as the stable denture will be.
