Having a tooth removed can sound worrying, but tooth extraction is a common dental procedure and, in many cases, it is relatively straightforward. However, you may have heard your Dentist use the terms tooth extraction and surgical tooth extraction and wondered what the difference is. This blog from Principal Dentist at tooth, Dr. Anna will help explain the differences.
Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, such as following a tooth extraction, through gum disease (periodontitis), or natural bone shrinkage over time. When the jawbone becomes too thin or too soft, it may not be able to securely support a dental implant or even maintain the natural structure of your face.
Bone grafting helps to rebuild lost bone, providing the strength and density needed for implant placement and long-term dental health.
