Periodontal surgery in preparation for an implant: Part I/5

Having a tooth removed is always traumatic no matter how old your are. I developed a very loose tooth (UL4) and decided to have it removed (May 7, 2010), and an implant to replace it. In Part 1/5 you will see the real-life vivid details of removing the tooth and cleaning out the remaining infection tissue in the tooth socket in preparation for a 'bone graft" to build up the socket where the periodontal disease had destroyed the bone. The procedure went exceedingly well. Indeed by the next day it was as if I had never undergone any surgery at all. Removing the teeth, placing the bone graft and then a temporary bridge to fill in the empty space took about 2 hours. Dr. Ted Rothstein
