When you need a tooth extraction, we’ve got you covered. At Thrive Dental and Orthodontics, conveniently located on the corner of Forest Lane and Preston Road right across the street from Whole Foods, we don’t just gently remove the infected or damaged tooth—we also offer a full range of replacement options, so you leave with a clear plan for your smile.
Once a tooth is removed, you have three main ways to fill the gap. From most expensive to most affordable:
We will lay out every option honestly—with real prices and no pressure—and let you decide what fits your smile, your timeline, and your budget. The American Dental Association’s guide to extractions is a great place to learn more about what to expect.
It sounds backwards, but in the long run the costliest choice is leaving the gap empty. The adjacent teeth slowly drift and tip into the open space, the opposing tooth can shift toward the gap, and over time your bite and jaw can develop real problems. Correcting all of that later usually means months of orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign—which costs far more and takes much longer than replacing the missing tooth right away. Replacing the tooth immediately is almost always the smarter investment.
Whether it’s a badly infected tooth, a cracked tooth that can’t be saved, or a wisdom tooth that needs to go, our North Dallas dentists keep you comfortable from start to finish. Relax with coffee and water in our lounge, then settle into your own private operatory with Netflix, a pillow, and a blanket. In pain right now? Our emergency dentists can often see you the same day.
We accept all PPO dental insurance plans and work to maximize your benefits so you pay the least amount possible—for both the extraction and the replacement. No insurance? Our dental discount plan and extended payment plans through Cherry financing keep every option affordable.
Our office at 6031 Forest Ln proudly serves families across North Dallas, including Highland Park, University Park, Lake Highlands, and Walnut Hill.
