Extractions

When a tooth reaches a point where restoration is unfeasible, its extraction becomes imperative to stave off the onset of periodontal disease.

Tooth extractions are efficiently completed within a single appointment, with the procedure’s duration contingent upon the intricacy of the extraction. Employing atraumatic techniques during extractions is essential, minimizing the potential for injury or trauma.

Following the tooth’s removal, a prudent course of action involves socket preservation, wherein bone is strategically placed to fill the void left by the extracted tooth. This approach fosters bone regeneration and prepares the area for potential dental implant placement.

For patients contemplating dental implants, socket preservation serves as a critical preparatory step. By preserving and enhancing the site, this procedure establishes a stable foundation, ensuring optimal support for the forthcoming implant.

In cases where extraction lacks proper atraumatic techniques and socket grafting is omitted, a significant portion of alveolar bone can be lost. If subsequent implant placement is envisioned, the absence of bone preservation necessitates more invasive surgical measures to augment bone growth or mandates the use of shorter, narrower implants. Such compromises can impact long-term stability, aesthetics, and functionality.
