Extraction Site Preservation
When extracting a tooth, there is a risk of bone degeneration and loss if there isn’t a treatment plan in place for replacing it as soon as possible. At Radiance Dental, we provide extraction site preservation, which makes sure our patients have the smoothest extraction procedure possible, followed by a viable option for replacing it. It also ensures that there isn’t damage during the extraction procedure, which is even more important when removing wisdom teeth.
If a patient gets a tooth removed without a plan through extraction site preservation, they risk the jawbone degenerating and their teeth shifting. This can cause misaligned teeth, chewing, and bite issues later on. Extraction site preservation helps our patients avoid more complex procedures, such as ridge augmentation, later on.
We provide options for replacing the tooth, such as a dental bridge, partial denture, or dental implants after extraction. It is important that we begin the tooth replacement procedure before the teeth begin shifting, when it can become more difficult. In many cases, we can make an impression of the tooth before pulling it, so that the abutment tooth when replacing it is identical.
