Bone graft surgery can help improve the health of your smile
and if you recently had an extraction you may want to consider a bone graft
procedure. It can be stressful to have a tooth extracted and you may be wondering,
when you meet with Dr. Denine Rice and her team, now what? When you extract the
tooth what is going to happen with my smile?
A bone graft procedure is usually completed immediately after
an extraction to make sure you have healthy and enough bone where the tooth was
extracted. Many times the reason for a lost tooth in infection which is in the
bone. A bone graft cleans out infected tissue and replaces it with health bone.
A bone graft procedure at the time of extraction can decrease the overall
surgical procedures you need to have, and so can mean financial savings for you.
If you have an extraction done and do not have the bone graft procedure, you
may end up having to have a procedure later if you are moving forward with an
implant or a denture, or you may notice that as the area heals shrinkage of
bone that becomes that much more difficult to correct.
A bone graft procedure at the time of an extraction can also
help hold your implant if you are doing an immediate placement. This procedure
allows Dr. Rice and her team to have a wider ridge to work with when completing
your implant procedure and will help ensure your implant will hold for years to
come.
