An infected or damaged tooth can sometimes be remedied by removal of the decay and placement of a filling or, in the case of external damage, a new crown. If the infection reaches the tooth roots, a root canal may be the solution you need. With more than 30 years of experience, training from the renowned Misch Implant Institute, and membership in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Dr. Rod Gleave can provide a wide range of treatments for your chronic toothaches. When a bad tooth is untreatable, he’s also the professional to trust for a tooth extraction in Salt Lake City, UT.
Did you know that, with the exception of wisdom teeth, most lost or extracted teeth need to be replaced? It’s true. That’s because teeth rely on one another for support. Without a full set of teeth, your remaining teeth can become crooked. What’s more, your jaw can begin to deteriorate, giving your face an unhealthy sunken appearance. Dr. Gleave can restore your smile function and aesthetics with dental implants—long-lasting, natural-looking artificial teeth. Dental implants enable you to feel self-confident again, eat all types of food, and regain a better overall quality of life. With more than 1,000 dental implant placements to his credit, Dr. Gleave knows how to make you smile again!
