Often, having a broken or decayed tooth that is beyond saving makes extraction seem overwhelming. Shan Dental Care truly offers something rather technologically advanced at a very minimal number of disturbances in oral health and smile restoration. Led by none other than Dr. Magha Pathak, the epitome of excellence in all-encompassing dental care is in the amalgamation of tooth extraction, bone graft, and immediate implants’ seamless modern approach to the loss of teeth remedies.
It’s an advanced technique wherein a patient undergoes the process of extraction of a tooth and replacement with an implant all in one visit. This includes three important steps:
● Tooth Extraction: First, a broken and decayed tooth is removed. This step ensures that the removal process is as gentle as possible, with Dr. Pathak’s help and gentle but precise techniques.
● Bone Grafting: After teeth removal, if there is not enough bone density at the site of the teeth removal, we will perform a bone graft. It involves adding bone material to the extraction site to encourage new bone growth, providing a stable foundation to support the implant.
● Immediate Implant Placement: Most times, we can place the dental implant during the same visit. This is when the implant gets fixed in the jawbone, fusing with the bone in a period that spans a couple of weeks through a process called osseointegration. That ensures it is a stable, secure, and long-term remedy for that missing tooth.
● The First Visit: During the first consultation, the patient will be evaluated by Dr. Pathak, who will conduct a complete examination – including x-rays and possibly 3D imaging-to determine the status of the tooth and jawbone. In this meeting, we will discuss the possible needs, advantages, and disadvantages of tooth extraction, if necessary, and perhaps bone grafting to make the place ready for immediate implants.
● Tooth Extraction: If the tooth is beyond retrieval, it will be totally removed with a long-lasting provision for as much healthy bone as possible.
● Bone Grafting (if Necessary): If there is no bone to hold the implant after the extraction, a bone graft will be placed at the site of extraction; this is necessary to give a strong base on which to anchor the implant for long-term stability and security, enabling the unit to stay in position with the bone.
● Immediate Implant Placement: Once the extraction is carried out and perforated bone grafts have been executed, too, an immediate implant is inserted right away. These implants basically consist of titanium bio-compatible implants made to apatite into your jawbone, ensuring a very long-standing functional life.
● Aftercare: Instructions on caring for the implant and dealing with any discomfort will be provided post-procedure by Dr. Pathak. With mild swelling and post-procedural discomfort, the problems can be alleviated with some over-the-counter pain relief.
● Reviews and Appointments: Through these regular follow-ups, the process of healing is observed and integration of bone with the implant; progress of healing related to bone graft will also be monitored.
This procedure combines tooth extraction, bone grafting, and immediate implant placement in a single visit, ensuring a faster and more efficient tooth replacement process. It helps preserve bone structure, shortens healing time, and provides a strong foundation for a long-lasting, natural-looking implant.
If you need to have a tooth extracted but don’t want to wait for a long time before the implant or have a tooth that is too damaged to save, an extraction, bone grafting, and immediate implant therapy will be the ideal solution for you. This goes a long way toward restoring both the function and the aesthetics of your smile.
