Many dentoalveolar surgeries require a multi-step approach that may include tooth removal, recontouring of the underlying bone, and adjustment of the surrounding gum tissue to promote proper healing and prepare the site for future restoration such as dental implants.
A dentoalveolar procedure may involve one or more of the following:
- Partial or complete tooth extraction
- Excision of compromised bone
- Recontouring of the bone surface
- Removal of affected soft tissue
- Repair and closure of soft tissue
