Dental Extraction vs. Tooth Saving Treatments: Embracing Future-Proof Techniques
Dental extraction remains a vital procedure when a tooth is irreparably damaged. Traditionally, extraction meant simply removing the tooth and moving on to dentures or bridges. Today, digital imaging and computer-guided surgery ensure extractions are precise, minimally invasive, and predictable. Cone-beam CT scans allow clinicians to visualize root anatomy and surrounding bone before intervention. Laser-assisted techniques reduce bleeding and swelling, while platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) aids faster healing. By integrating these methods, practices can position themselves as leaders in urgent and complex cases.
