DENTAL EXTRACTION

When a tooth is removed, it is considered a dental extraction. There are several reasons someone may need a tooth extracted such as severe decay, fracture, hopeless prognosis, extensive periodontal disease, trauma, wisdom teeth, orthodontic needs, as well as many other reasons.  

Having an extraction leaves a space which an implant, partial denture, or bridge is used to fill or close that space. If all of the teeth are extracted, then a full (complete) denture is used to replace all the natural teeth of upper and lower jaws.

Often times after a tooth is extracted, bone-grafting material is placed in the socket to preserve the jawbone ridge. This is important to preserve the jawbone ridge height and width for a future implant or even to preserve the jawbone level to protect the adjacent teeth to the extracted tooth.

After having teeth extracted, it is very important to follow the post-op instructions. Limiting complications and preventing dry sockets is crucial to the healthy healing of your extraction site.
