For the health of the mouth and in order to provide the strongest possible recipient site for an implant, it is important that a tooth is extracted in the least traumatic way possible.  To accomplish this, Dr. Mabry uses special equipment, instruments and techniques to gently remove the tooth, preserving as much bone as possible.  Careful preservation of the surrounding bone helps to form a good foundation and in turn, a strong implant.  It also protects the remaining teeth by providing them with continued support from the surrounding bone.
