Extraction Has Many Applications And We Can Help With Each One
Dr. Jovanovski won't be able to give you an answer about your case until he can see you, but it may help to know that he has a conservative approach to extraction. His first priority will be to save your tooth, if at all possible. We might recommend extraction for these types of cases:
Decayed Teeth
Tooth decay is a common problem. If it is identified quickly, it can be treated with more conservative options, like dental fillings. Still, late treatment is better than none — and our Round Rock, TX, dentist can protect your oral health with tooth extraction.
Infected Teeth
After extensive tooth decay or trauma, your root canal may become infected. Often, dentists and oral surgeons can protect your treated tooth using fillings or crowns. When the infection is more extensive, though, they may have to remove your tooth instead.
Broken Teeth
There are many reasons why a patient may have damaged teeth, like accidents and chronic teeth grinding. Sometimes, this damage can be treated with dental bonding or crowns. However, if it is severe or affecting your health, you may need an extraction at our Round Rock office.
Overcrowded Teeth
Sometimes, our mouths don't have enough room for all of our teeth. This can lead to overcrowding or impaction, meaning a tooth is unable to erupt properly, which can in turn give you a crooked smile and harm your health. With extraction, you can improve your smile's appearance and health. You won't need to worry about replacing these teeth either.
Healing From Tooth Extraction
/
Our Round Rock dentist will likely place gauze inside your mouth to encourage the formation of a blood clot and minimize bleeding. He may also prescribe an antibiotic, so that you can avoid infection. Finally, he'll send you home with detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site–and you're always welcome to call with questions.

I've been going to Dr Ace for about 3 years now. I am a transplant to the area so Dr Ace and team picked me up with somebody else having done the work. I wish I had lived in Austin years ago and known about Dr Ace. This place is great, and I've recommended them personally so thought I'd recommend them on here also.

Absolutely the best dental experience I have ever had. Dr Ace did an almost full lower implant and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Worth every penny!

If your tooth was removed due to overcrowding or in preparation for orthodontic work, you won't need to replace it. For all other teeth, though, our dentist can create a custom restoration plan. It typically contains two components:
Dental Implants
No need to refer out–our dentist is trained in placing dental implants. Essentially, implants are a type of screw placed in your jaw. They undergo a process called osseointegration, which allows them to fuse with the bone and remain stable for decades. After our dentist attaches an abutment to them, they can support your natural-looking restoration, like a dental crown or bridge.
Traditional Restoration
Even though implants offer the best benefits for your appearance and health, you may choose a traditional bridge instead. Because Dr. Jovanovski is a prosthodontist, he is skilled at placing traditional and implant-supported restorations, making him a doctor you can trust from start to finish.
