Dental extraction refers to the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone.
Common reasons for extraction:
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore or enhance bone that has been lost due to injury, disease, or lack of use (such as after tooth extraction). Bone grafting is often done in preparation for dental implants, as the implant requires a stable and healthy bone structure to support it. Bone grafting may also be used in cases of severe bone loss due to periodontal disease or trauma.

Dental implants are a revolutionary, usually fixed and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it provides a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. This creates a secure, long-term replacement for missing teeth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Implants are made from materials like titanium or zirconia due to their durability and compatibility with the human body.
