When it becomes necessary to remove a tooth, Dr. Khan will discuss with you your options for how you wish to proceed with the space left behind once that happens. In some cases, nothing needs to be done and the site can simply be allowed to heal. In other cases, plans may be made to fit you with a bridge or an implant in order to replace the missing tooth and to keep a complete look to your smile. It is important to have a treatment plan in place to properly care for and preserve your extraction site.
