Our periodontists take upmost care to remove teeth in the most atraumatic method possible. Atraumatic extractions help preserve the supporting bone while removing teeth. Besides for a quicker healing process, by preserving the bone, it allows for the placement for an immediate, same day dental implant. Dental implants require solid healthy bone all around to be able to support a dental crown. Removing the tooth in a atraumatic fashion, it is more likely to preserve the boney walls allowing for successful implant placement.
Immediate implants helps preserve the shape and volume of the bone and gum following tooth extraction. It also helps reduce the number of procedures and treatment time. In some cases, if there is strong bone, we can attach a temporary crown to the implant at the same time of implant placement . This allows one to keep the shape of their gums prior to tooth loss and saves time as there is no need to remold the gum tissue.
The data from multiple studies shows that when an implant is placed into an extraction sites with healthy solid bone and gum around them, the success rates are generally comparable to that of delayed procedures with no additional complications. It is therefore of upmost importance to remove the tooth in the most atraumatic fashion and preserve the bone.
