The best way to ensure that the conditions in the mouth remain favourable for the placement of implants, is to start preparing for the implant at the time of extracting an old tooth.

Bone loss always occurs after tooth extraction, which can sometimes leave the site unable to support an implant. By performing a grafting procedure during extraction, we preserve the bone around the site and even generate new bone where the old tooth’s roots were. More bone improves the chances of a long-lasting implant.

Timing is crucial for successful grafting, so careful planning is essential. If you need a tooth extraction, ask us about grafting options.

Grafting is a cost-effective way to ensure the success of future dental work, including implants, bridges, and dentures.
