Oral surgeons can provide socket preservation procedures by grafting bone at the time of a tooth removal. Grafting can protect sockets from bone atrophy and prepare the area for an implant. Dental implants have and can change many peoples' lives. They are designed to provide a foundation for a replacement tooth which looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt through the gums within the mouth. When they are aligned properly, the gum tissue is healthy, and there is adequate space, wisdom tooth removal is not necessary.
