Atraumatic Tooth Extraction: Gentle Removal with Bone Preservation
The technique specifically designed to remove a tooth using specialized tools while causing minimal damage or trauma to the surrounding bone and soft tissues. This procedure often precedes a socket preservation graft to prepare the site for future dental implant(s).
01. Local Anesthesia is Applied
Oral of IV sedatives can also be used to achieve a higher state of relaxation depending on the needs of an individual patient.
02. Surgical Microscope is Used
The use of a surgical microscope allows Dr. Fokam to perform very minimally invasive extractions with thorough curettage/removal of any surrounding infection or foreign body (endodontic material) that may be present in the socket prior to socket preservation grafting.
When and Why to Remove Wisdom Teeth

Pain & Swlling
Infection
Decay
Preventative Care
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia. Oral or IV sedatives can also be used to achieve a higher state of relaxation depending on the needs of an individual patient.
