A Dental Implant Can Often Replace a Tooth Lost to Severe Oral Trauma

An accidental blow to the mouth during athletics or something as traumatic as an automotive collision can sometimes impact the mouth with such force that it causes severe damage to teeth and soft tissues. In a moment such as this, you might need to seek emergency treatment from a dentist like Dr. Park Avenue Oral Surgery and the staff specialists at Park Avenue Oral Surgery.

After assessing the nature and severity of the oral trauma, he will help you understand your treatment options. This might include suturing any wounded soft oral tissues and treating any fractured teeth.

If one or more of your teeth has been severely fractured or knocked out of its socket, he might recommend extracting whatever remains of the tooth’s root.  Afterward, he can provide you with the necessary prescription medications to help manage any latent pain.

Once all the traumatized tissues and gums have healed, Dr. Park Avenue Oral Surgery might be able to restore the tooth with a dental implant and a dental crown.

This type of dental restoration starts with a minimally invasive oral surgery to install a titanium dental implant. Once it has fully fused with the underlying bone tissues, Dr. Park Avenue Oral Surgery can mount an abutment to the implant and start the process of fitting you for a dental crown.

If you are in the New York, New York, region and you have just suffered a severe oral trauma, you should call 212-644-7009 to seek emergency treatment from Dr. Park Avenue Oral Surgery and the specialists at Park Avenue Oral Surgery.
