Full Mouth Extractions, extreme pictures
Immediate Full Lower Denture
Full Mouth Tooth Extractions and Immediate Full Dentures:
Immediate Full Upper Denture
Extreme Pictures: In one of these extreme pictures teeth #’s 1-10 have been extracted. In another picture, all remaining upper and lower teeth have been extracted. Immediate full upper and lower dentures are being delivered in the other two pictures.
Full Dentures may be thought of as a type of old fashioned dentistry. I live and work in the Tampa Bay region of Florida. I can say very honestly that full dentures are still a significant part of my Palm Harbor dental practice. Full dentures may the the only choice a patient has when all things are considered. Is this ideal dentistry? It may very well be the ideal choice for some people. Some Americans are Republicans, some us are Democrats, some are Independents and some don’t care.
Toothless Upper Jaw
Tooth #12
Tooth #12 is an upper left first bicuspid. It is typically a tooth with two roots and two cusps (hence : bicuspid). This tooth #12 was extracted on August 14, 2012 in my Palm Harbor dental office. It was one of 30 teeth that was extracted from the same young man while he was sedated.
Supernumary or extra tooth!
3rd bicuspid lower right
Extra or supernumary teeth do occur, just as cogentially missing teeth. This picture was taken in my Palm Harbor dental office in August of 2012. Many dentists might insist that this “extra” tooth be removed. This gentleman told me that he had grown “quite attached to the tooth, somewhat like an old friend.” I honestly responded that if the tooth did not bother him, it would not bother me.

Immediate flipper after front tooth extractions
Most of my Palm Harbor, FL dental patients do not want to leave my office without teeth, especially upper front teeth, after dental extractions!
What options can I give them? Provisional (temporary) bridges, either fixed or removable are options used every day in dental offices through-out the world!
Teeth #s 5,6 9 & 10 were extracted just before this picture was taken, the bloody extraction sites are visible. The broken root tips of teeth #7 & 8 were extracted weeks before hand due to severe infection and abcesses.

Rotten Tooth
How does one define a rotten tooth? In this picture we clearly see a freshly extracted tooth. It is tooth #25 and was extracted on May 14th, 2012. The arrow is pointing to a cyst attached to the apex (tip of the root.)
Is this a rotten tooth? It was a diseased and infected tooth. It was painful and unhealthy. It has no tooth decay, and yet it was diseased. What do you think, was it a rotten tooth? The patient surely thought it was a rotten tooth that she wanted to get rid of. Other treatment options were available, but given the state of infection and the periodontal condition of this tooth, extraction was not only the most cost effective treatment, but the treatment of choice.

Tooth #8 extraction, bone graft and flipper
Now the first surgical phase is complete. To recount, from the beginning, This young lady presented to my Palm Harbor, Tampa Bay FL area dentist office in late December 2011 with the chief complaint of a loose tooth #8. After clinical and radio graphic examination it was noted that previously crowned tooth #8 was hopelessly fractured. After discussion of all treatment options, the treatment choice was to 1) Fabricate a dental flipper for tooth #8 so after the Christmas / New Years holiday time period we could proceed with the definitive care plan. 2) Extract tooth root #8 and do site preservation bone grafting – this picture shows the completion of this phase. 3) This step will be to place the dental implant into tooth #8 site. 4) The last step is to restore the dental implant with a dental crown – the dental flipper will be worn until the completion of this last step.

Tooth #8 extraction, bone graft and flipper
Most people here in the USA do not want to walk out of a dentist’s office missing a front tooth. After the surgical phase of this dentistry is completed in my Dentist office in Palm Harbor, Tampa FL area, the flipper needs to be re-inserted. This picture shows me putting the tooth #8 flipper back in place.
