| EXTRACTIONS | ||
| A dental extraction is referred to a procedure which involves the removal of the entire tooth including the crown and the root portions. When a cavity, or a fracture is too deep, or multiple root canal have been unsuccessful, the tooth is deemed hopeless and should be extracted. | ||
Extractions are often categorized as simple or surgical. Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible and are easily accessible. Surgical extractions involve the removal of teeth that can not be easily accessed.Sometimes, it is recommended to perform bone grafting procedures on sockets after an extraction. The bone graft will maintain the volume height and width of the edentulous space. This makes it possible for placement of an implant on a future date, and it also improves the cosmetic aspect of the area by preventing defects in the bone. |
||
| Sometimes a bone graft is placed at the time of tooth extraction to help your body fill in the socket with bone. This step will maintain the width or volume of bone you will need for implant placement. It is most commonly performed on thin-walled extraction sockets, especially in such visible areas as the front of the mouth | ||
| 1. Bio-Col Bone Graft Immediately after tooth removal, bovine bone graft particles are placed into the extraction site to help preserve bone width. (May prevent necessity for Ramus Veneer Bone Grafting.) 2. Ramus Veneer Bone Graft A thin wedge of bone is removed from the wisdom tooth area and grafted to reconstruct bone width that has previously been lost from tooth removal or infection. 3. Sinus Lift Bone Graft A small window is opened into the sinus, and bovine bone particles are grafted to reconstruct vertical bone height that has previously been lost from tooth removal or infection. |
