Dental Extractions
Modern Extraction Techniques
Extractions and Bone Grafting
Dental extractions have evolved from potentially daunting procedures to safe, predictable treatments in modern dentistry. Dr. Parque has undergone extensive training in atraumatic extraction techniques that preserve surrounding bone and tissue, all the while making the experience more comfortable for the patient. Advanced imaging technology like 3D CBCT scans allows to visualize critical anatomical structures before surgery, ensuring precise planning and execution.
During extraction, specialized instruments are utilized to allow for gentle tooth removal with minimal trauma. Local anesthetics and sedation options tailor comfort to each patient's needs.
Following extraction, bone grafting can be placed which helps to preserve the socket's dimensions for future implant placement. This crucial step can prevent significant bone loss which naturally occurs within six months post-extraction. Grafting materials—ranging from autogenous bone to synthetic substitutes—create a scaffold for new bone formation. This maintained bone volume is essential for future dental implant success, ensuring sufficient height and width for proper implant positioning and integration. The need for bone grafting is typically determined prior to the extraction process. Dr. Parque and team can review during consultation whether or not this therapy would be a benefit to your oral health.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
The evaluation for wisdom tooth extraction begins with comprehensive three-dimensional imaging, typically cone-beam CT scanning, which provides crucial visualization of third molars in relation to vital anatomical structures. This imaging reveals proximity to neighboring nerves and the maxillary sinus superiorly, helping prevent complications like nerve damage or sinus communication.

Clinical assessment involves analyzing tooth positioning, degree of impaction, root morphology, and surrounding bone density. Patient factors including age, overall health status, and medical history significantly influence treatment decisions, with younger patients typically experiencing fewer complications and faster healing.

It is very common that patients elect to be sedated for the procedure, making it a far more comfortable and predictable experience of the patient. Proper preoperative evaluation and appropriate sedation selection ensure safer outcomes and significantly improved patient experience during this common oral surgery procedure.

Quality of Life Impact
The psychosocial benefits of these treatments shouldn't be underestimated. Patients frequently report increased confidence in social and professional settings, improved self-image, and reduced anxiety about their appearance. This psychological boost often translates to more frequent smiling, better social engagement, and improved mental well-being.​
Additionally, by addressing dental problems early through cosmetic and restorative treatments, patients can avoid more complex and costly procedures later, contributing to long-term oral health and overall wellness.
