Implantology (dental implant placement)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Best regards.
My upper central incisor, which was already non-vital, has broken. The dentist said that there is no other solution than extraction. Since she does not perform implant treatment, I would like to know whether I should have the tooth extracted beforehand, or whether it is better to perform the extraction and implantation at the same time. THANK YOU
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
In some cases it is advisable to place an implant immediately after extraction. The decision depends on several factors: the condition of the root, its position, the presence of infection, the condition of the bone, anatomical characteristics...). In any case, it is best for us to extract the root (regardless of whether we place the implant immediately or not), because after extraction we can prepare the bone for later implantation. The price of the procedure is not changed because of this.
Have a nice day!
