There are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest option for your smile. Whether due to severe decay, infection, damage, or advanced gum disease, extractions are sometimes necessary to relieve pain, prevent further problems, and protect your overall oral health. When tooth replacement is needed, dentures or partials can restore comfort, function, and confidence.
Gentle, patient-focused extractions
Here at Pine Ridge Dental, we understand that the idea of an extraction can feel overwhelming. Our approach is always conservative and compassionate—removing a tooth only when it’s truly in your best interest. We focus on keeping you comfortable, explaining each step, and ensuring a smooth healing process.
Benefits of extractions when needed:
- Relief from pain and infection
- Prevention of further damage to surrounding teeth and bone
- Improved oral health and comfort
- Creates a healthy foundation for replacement options
Dentures & partials: Restoring your smile
Dentures and partial dentures are reliable, time-tested solutions for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’re missing several teeth or an entire arch, we design custom appliances that fit comfortably, function well, and look natural.
Dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth, while partials are ideal when some natural teeth remain. Both options are customized to your mouth for improved stability, comfort, and appearance.
Benefits of dentures and partials:
- Restores ability to eat and speak comfortably
- Supports facial structure and smile appearance
- Custom fit for comfort and function
- Nonsurgical, cost-effective tooth replacement
- Improves confidence in everyday life
