Our trained dentists can recognize where a space maintainer would be best suited, maximizing the benefits for each patient. While many cases may benefit from the placement of a space maintainer, not all instances require them due to the growth and development of the teeth surrounding the extracted tooth. Whether the tooth is lost or missing, our dentist will make sure that, if needed, the space is held to allow for the proper eruption of the permanent tooth. To do so, we may recommend a space maintainer. This device keeps the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. There are several types of space maintainers available, including both removable and fixed options. We will ensure that your child receives the type of space maintainer that best fits their unique needs.
