Part II - The ULTIMATE Guide for Planning an Extraction in the Aesthetic Zone
Once you've decided that the tooth needs to be extracted, there's multiple treatment options. The decisions you make at the time you extract the tooth can significantly impact the patient’s aesthetic outcomes and overall experience.
In this episode I deep dive into:
🔷 Why the success of these procedures depends not only on functional aspects but also on matching the natural tooth's appearance.
🔷 How to maintain aesthetics and avoid bulldozing the natural foundations.
🔷 When to do socket shield, immediate implant placement, socket grafting or delay the implant placement.
If you've ever felt stuck, afraid of your next steps or unsure how to proceed once you've decided the tooth in the aesthetic zone needs to go, this episode is for you.
