After a wisdom tooth is removed, a blood clot forms in the empty socket to protect the bone and help healing. If that clot becomes dislodged or dissolves too soon, it leaves the bone exposed. This painful condition is called dry socket.

To avoid dry socket, follow the instructions provided by our doctors, including:
- Don’t smoke, v**e, or use straws while healing.
- Avoid spitting forcefully or rinsing too hard.
- Stick to soft foods for the first few days.

Dry socket is uncommon, and most people heal without issues. If any problems arise in your recovery, don't hesitate to reach out: 318-388-2621

Each year, about 2.2 million bone-grafting procedures are performed worldwide.

Bone grafting helps rebuild or strengthen the jaw so it can properly support a dental implant. The gold standard is autografting, where a patient’s own bone is used to repair and reconstruct areas of the mouth, face, or skull. A bone graft enhances the stability and longevity of dental implants. If a bone graft is recommended before your dental implant surgery, set up your appointment at Oral Surgery Associates: 318-388-2621

When wisdom teeth are impacted, they don’t have enough room to grow in properly. Instead, they may stay trapped under the gums, come in at an angle, or only partially erupt, which puts pressure on nearby teeth and increases the risk of pain, infection, and long-term damage.

The tricky part? Impacted wisdom teeth don’t always cause symptoms right away. That’s why early evaluation at Oral Surgery Associates is key.

If recommended, a bone graft is a crucial first step in preparing for your dental implant. A bone graft is a surgical procedure that adds bone material, either from the patient, a donor, or synthetic sources, to the jaw, increasing its volume and density. This creates a stable foundation for the dental implant to fuse with, which is essential for the long-term success and function of the implant.

A dental implant is designed to replace a missing tooth from the root up. It starts with a fixture, which is placed into the jawbone where the natural tooth root used to be. Over time, the bone grows around this implant, securing it firmly in place, just like a real root.

Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, an abutment is attached. This connects the implant to a crown, which is the visible part of the tooth that sits above the gum. The crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth. Learn more about dental implants: www.oralsurgeryassociates.com
