Do you have a tooth that is beyond saving? Considering a permanent dental implant from Allen Park Dental Care? There are advantages to combining the extraction and implant placement in one procedure. Let’s talk about the benefits of same-day extraction and tooth implant placement.
1. You preserve healthy bone
As soon as a tooth is removed, the bone begins to recede. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement procedure that prevents (or greatly reduces) bone deterioration. A bridge doesn’t. Dentures don’t. It’s the post that is implanted into your jawbone makes all the difference. It fuses with your existing bone in a process called osseointegration.
2. You have the original tooth as a model for the crown
There is nothing like the real thing when taking an impression for a crown. If the tooth you are extracting is broken or misshapen, we will fix all those problems with your new crown. But we’ll start with an impression or 3-D model of the original. This helps the lab techs create a perfect restoration.
3. One surgery vs. two
One incision. One healing period. One dental appointment. Need we say more?
But not everyone is a candidate for immediate placement. But if you are planning to get a dental implant after you have a tooth extracted, we’ll advise you on the timing. It may make sense to do both treatments together.
At Allen Park Dental Care, services include dental implants and a full range of family dentistry procedures. Schedule an appointment with us today.
