can you reverse bicuspid extractions?

Question

I regret getting premolars extractions! should I reopen space with implants?

Answer 1

Bicuspid Extractions: No, once dental bicuspids are removed that is a permanent situation. Replacements can be by dental implant insertion and restoration.

Answer 2

Not possible: once teeth are removed, they are gone. For your information, extracting teeth would only be recommended if crowding is a major problem.

Answer 3

Two cusps: It refers to teeth with two cusps or bumps. The bicuspids are usually located between the molars which have 4 to 5 cusps and the cuspids or eye teeth which have one cusp. Most people have 8 bicuspids in their mouth.

Answer 4

Missing teeth?: Orthodontics or dental implants are two ways of closing the spaces left or putting back the teeth that were extracted.

Answer 5

Why?: The first question i would ask is why are you interested in reversing the effects of the 4 bicuspid extractions? The second question would be were the extractions performed as part of your treatment performed by an orthodontist? The third question would be is your orthodontic treatment completed and the extraction spaces closed? Possible options will depend upon your answers.

Answer 6

Prosthodontist: See a Prosthodontist - specialist in reconstruction - first for evaluation and options. They will refer you as needed to achieve your goal. Typically if you are missing teeth in a selected area, especially if there are teeth on both sides, implants are the treatment of choice. Good Luck.

Answer 7

See a dentist: get a full dental examination and discuss the various treatment for your individual needs. Good luck.

Answer 8

Bicuspid Extractions: Traditionally, smaller mouths had bicuspid removal years ago. The technology today focuses on palatal and mandibular expansion to help create room to retain these teeth.

Answer 9

Ask yr orthodontist: The orthodontic extractions are recommended, typically is because of either an overbite or severe crowding is present. Ask your orthodontist if expansion or temporary anchors are right for you. Good luck.

Answer 10

Premolar: The extraction of a premolar should not cause any TMJ issues... you most probably developed the problem due to other causes. An examination by a local dentist with knowledge regarding TMJ causes and treatment will shed some light on how to treat your condition. All the best...

Answer 11

Not likely: Depending on how long you had your mouth open for the procedure, and how much force was applied by the dentist. The premolar extraction is very easy and quick.
