Teeth Broken to the Gum Line

Q: I have quite a few teeth broken down to the gum line and I know they have to come out. I know that they all have to be extracted. After extraction what do I need to do?

A: As a Periodontist, we evaluate all teeth to see if they are worth saving.  We evaluate the following:

  1. Crown/Root ratio
  2. Health of the patient
  3. Amount of bone support and the extent of the surgery. Worth the effort?
  4. Overall treatment plan and prognosis
  5. Restorative treatment plan
  6. Finances and patient feedback
  7. Implant options

In summary:  You should have a full set of quality digital x-rays and have a comprehensive treatment plan with a highly trained Laser Periodontist to go over all your options, including the latest laser techniques in extractions, implants and bone regeneration.
