Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.
Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.
What started as a small blog quickly grew into a multifaceted platform with a wide range of dental resources—from practice management tips to in-depth product reviews and educational articles on oral health. Over the years, Dental Country has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and patients alike.

No
Pat B. why no ?
Priscilla C. cause it’s a hit or miss whether it will be a success. I just had five implants all on the top 2 weeks ago and the pain is unbearable
Pat B. so sorry to read that.
Priscilla C. good luck
Pat B. thank you !!!
Pat B. I empathize, horrendous pain
Pat B. hugs. When it’s over you will be happy!
No implant just remove the tooth
Gean N. why no ?
No implant
Philip F. why no ?
If not a necessity for looks or eating I would save the money and avoid the hassle
Why no implant?
Just remove.
For one in the back I wouldn’t do an implant. Just do a bone graft so it doesn’t collapse I had 2 extractions without bone graft and the gum collapsed.
Adriana C. did you do bone graft for other teeth then?
Priscilla C. no I do need another extraction so I will definitely get bone graft. For the other ones I would have to do another surgery basically to add bone graft. 🙁
Do it all at once.
Adriana C. oh okay I see! Good luck !
Adriana C. what do you mean by collapse
Adriana C. I had my second molar removed and didn’t do the bone graft because I was adamant about no implant. Can I go back and get the bone graft now? I think if you get the bone graft that new bone will eventually resorb without a tooth there but I could be wrong
Julie M. I was not sure I was doing an implant either. So I had no bone graft done. I decided to do it because I didn’t like the way my face looked with out it. I’m older and it really showed! Plus you will have issues with the teeth above eventually if you do not.
I was going to have graft the same time as my implant. But the oral surgeon decided I did NOT need one for that tooth..
I did need a graft on my front tooth.
Julie M. do not listen to others. Your decision. Talk to your dentist. One dentist to,d me not to, the one I love and trust told me I’d be sorry if I didn’t.
Find an oral surgeon that does hundreds. Do not do a one day one. They have a higher rate of failing
I personally would do implant.
Monta S. do you have an implant? How does it feel ?
Priscilla C. I’m in a process of getting one. Just got back molar extracted last Friday. I think that we have all teeth for a reason and should replace them if necessary rather than leave a gap.
Depends if you have money to waste.
Tabby S. that is also an issue
No
Hard to keep clean. I had an upper left rear molar removed in my 20s cause it broke ( on a hard cookie). When I had my wisdom teeth pulled he pulled that also. I’ve never missed it in 40 years. No space cause it was the last tooth. I even had braces in my 40s.
Deborah K. you were able to get braces even with the missing tooth?
Deborah K. I have lost two back molars in my twenties. Did your above teeth slowly come down in the missing space?
Deborah K. did the tooth above it drift down?
I am in the same situation. I lost my 2nd molar and some people tell me I should get an implant and others say dont bother. Is it on the bottom?
Julie M. yes bottom
Priscilla C. do you have your wisdom teeth still?
Julie M. Yes I take them out soon.
If you want to be pragmatic about it, see how much the missing tooth affects your eating. You might find it doesn’t bother you.
Jeff W. its been two months for me since I lost a bottom second molar and I am slowly getting used to it but I still wish I had a tooth there
Jeff W. I just did today. I’m not using it really. The use the second one before it when breaking down my food.
Not used. Remove
I chose not to because it was the furthest from the back and used the money to implant the teeth closer in front.
Wisdom tooth doesn’t help in chewing, so let it be like that
Ashish K. not the wisdom tooth. The back molar.
You use these teeth for less than 5% of chewing. That would be a hard no for me. I had all 4 pulled years ago and haven’t missed them ever.
Carin G. I just had my second molar pulled and the decision to replace it is giving me so much anxiety. I feel like I miss the tooth so much and that gap is there bugging me constantly lol. but I am also not chewing on that side because its a bit tender still. Of course the oral surgeon tells me I should replace it because if not it will put stress on the other teeth and caused an unbalanced bite, more problems down the road, etc. But others say ill get used to it. Just so I’m understanding, you don’t have any second molars? Only firsts so 24 teeth total and you can eat whatever? That makes me feel so much better. Reading these stories on this page is scaring me from ever letting an oral surgeon touch me again haha
Julie M. correct. I have no 2nd year molars. I had so many problems I could have kept them and continue to treat them, or I could just get rid of them. I never missed them but it took a couple months to heal. That said if you still have the opposing it could erupt which might be why they recommend.
Carin G. im so glad to hear that, thank you. How long have you been without them? Did you ever notice bone loss or big dips? Its been two months and while it’s healing fine it seems like it’s soooo slow. I guess that was a huge tooth socket to fill in but I am impatient!
Julie M. it’s been since like 2014. It takes time for the sockets to close and feel like normal though. My husband had that same tooth pulled a year ago December and doesn’t even notice it (just the one like you).
Carin G. do you have any other implants?
Julie M. I do. I have on #9 with a canteleavor on 10, and just had one placed on 12 which is pre-crown. I’m just waiting to find out if I will now need to replace 11 😥.
You are young, get implant. It also will eventually change shape of your face. I did my bottom back molar.
Dot F. the decision is killing me! Haha
Julie M. do it!
Dot F. how are you feeling?
Julie M. I had pain yesterday. Today NONE. But it’s a front tooth. I had no tooth and went to my regular dentist and bonded the removed tooth on to my other teeth. I’m in a little bit of pain tonight.
You went though the bad part! I think the extraction is worse then the implant.
If you can speak ok and eat ok, I wouldn’t go to the big expense to replace. Only if it was in the front where clearly visible when u talk
Priscilla C. Ask your dentist what he recommends. My dentist and an oral surgeon both told me that the last molar (the one in front of the wisdom teeth) does not need to be replaced because “people do just fine without those”.
Becky M. I was told the same thing
No just remove
You guys are all awesome ! Thank you for the input!!!
No
To people, who said “just remove you dont need it” whats going to happen when the tooth across starts growing downwards?
