After your extraction, it’s important to restore the gap left behind. Replacing your missing tooth helps prevent shifting, bite changes, and jawbone loss. Your dentist will help you choose which solution fits your needs best.
Your replacement options include:
Implant With Crown – This single-tooth replacement mimics the look and feel of a real tooth. Dr. Loftus may be able to place this combination in a single visit thanks to our 3-D printing technology.
Dental Bridge – Close gaps from one or more missing teeth with a bridge. It’s anchored by adjacent teeth or dental implants.
Dentures – Enjoy enhanced stability, comfort, and chewing power with dentures. Opt for traditional ones secured by adhesive or replacement teeth attached to implants.
All-on-4 – Replace an entire arch of teeth with as few as four dental implants. It is more cost-effective than other full-arch implant procedures.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Your dentist will proceed with the remainder of your reconstruction procedure. You’ll regain your full, healthy smile.
Our team will walk you through every option and help you make a confident, informed decision. We’re here to rebuild not just your smile – but your comfort, function, and peace of mind.
Greatest staff ever! Very friendly and they make you feel very comfortable and answer all your questions. I saw doctor Loftus’ son the last two visits, he obviously is a doctor also. He was wonderful as well. He explained the entire procedure and gave me many options. I have always been very happy with my experience here.

My son has special needs, and they were so amazing with him, I was so happy to find a dentist that was compassionate about what he has gone through and so understanding.

They were very very efficient and smooth and at no time was I uncomfortable or in pain. I would recommend them to anyone anytime! Thank you so much to Amy and Dr Loftus for the help and care!
Overall, I was very impressed with the facility and especially the personnel. My extraction procedure came off without a hitch and the follow up was very thorough. It made me feel like the Dr and staff know what they are doing and they hold the patient in high regard. The front desk’s use of text, email and phone kept me continuously in the loop. The procedure was successful and I was reassured they would take care of me if problems developed.
This is the Absolute Best Dentist! Thr staff is so wonderful and caring, they are fast, and I am so glad I use them! I had a molar break and was causing me pain. They got me in the same day I called, did xrays and was able to pull the tooth the same day! They gave me antibiotics and pain relief to help me heal fast. Eric, his wife and Dr. Lotus score A+ in my book. Pricing is excellent as well! Thank you so much for taking GREAT CARE OF ME. Care the way it is supposed to be. Highly recommended.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal
Will my tooth extraction hurt? +–
You’ll be comfortable during your extraction at our office. We completely numb the area before beginning. You won’t feel pain during the procedure. You might feel some pressure, but not sharp pain. We also offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to help you relax.
How long will I need to recover after having a tooth removed? +–
You’ll likely be back to your normal routine within 48 to 72 hours. Complete healing takes about one to two weeks. Following our care instructions will help you heal faster and feel better sooner. We’ll give you clear, simple directions to follow at home. We’re always available if you have questions during your recovery.
When should I replace my extracted tooth? +–
The sooner you replace your missing tooth, the better for your smile’s health. Without a replacement, your other teeth can shift out of position, causing bite problems and even bone loss in your jaw. We’ll help you plan your replacement option, whether that’s an implant, bridge, or denture, before your extraction whenever possible.
