The initial handling of your dental emergency can make a tremendous difference in time and cost associated with restoring/ replacing teeth. Too often we see patients who had an extraction done without planning for tooth replacement later on. This will result in extra surgery, additional expenses for the patient and increased time for healing and restoration. Extractions should be followed by bone grafting in order to preserve bone loss associated with tooth loss. This way we can place your dental implant later on, and save you time and expense of additional procedures.
