Q. Does the bone grafting procedure take part before going ahead with the implant of the dental implant but after extraction of tooth, or can it be done as part of appointment when dental implant is being put in? Do the gums need to be cut into or anything like that during the bone grafting?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the bone graft procedure is done in various ways dependant on the clinical situation.
1:some times is can be done at time of tooth extraction
2:sometimes it can be done at time of tooth extraction and immediate placement of the implant.
3:sometimes you have to wait for healing after the extraction to place the bone graft then wait for this to heal before the implant is placed.
the best advice i can give is discuss this with your implant surgeon.
hope this is helpful.
