Understanding venous insufficiency and tooth replacement options after extraction

Venous insufficiency occurs when veins do not function properly, often due to faulty valves. This condition can cause blood to pool in superficial veins, leading to swelling and discomfort. A laser procedure will close these veins, redirecting blood to deeper veins that are less likely to cause symptoms. After a molar extraction, it is recommended to replace the tooth to maintain chewing efficiency and prevent future dental issues. Options include dental implants or removable partial dentures. While the decision is personal, replacing the tooth can help avoid complications like jawbone loss and misalignment.
