Advanced Extraction Therapy


A procedure called Advanced Extraction Therapy can save the site where your tooth is extracted from. This new approach to extracting teeth can prevent bone loss and provide a strong secure foundation for dental implants, bridges, or dentures.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A TOOTH IS EXTRACTED?

If the site is not treated, bone loss of 40-60% will occur in the extraction area.



WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF BONE LOSS?

Should bone loss occur, you may experience a receding jawline, which will alter your natural faciaI lines and cause the appearance of general aging. Also, teeth next to the extraction site may loosen and eventually shift, causing additional dental problems, as well as problems with chewing. After time, bone loss may become so severe, it makes wearing dentures impossible.

WHAT IS THE BEST PREVENTION FOR BONE LOSS?

Advanced Extraction Therapy prevents bone loss in a quick, uncomplicated procedure. Immediately after tooth extraction, we fill the socket with a synthetic bone substitute and place sutures.

HOW DOES THE SYNTHETIC BONE ACTUALLY WORK?

At first, the bone substitute works to maintain the natural height and width of your jawbone. Over the course of a year, your own bone will grow around and through the synthetic bone.
