I have finally found an oral surgeon who agreed to pull my root-canaled tooth and am trying to schedule this extraction ASAP, maybe as soon as this Friday. My question is whether this doctor should be the same person who does my implant. I see everyone advertising their implant business now, but I had always thought for some reason that only periodontists did them. I'm wondering what to do now, since I haven't even fully decided whether or not to have an implant and I'm wondering about the preparation of socket (he mentioned bone grafting?) during the extraction surgery. What do I need to know? Bryanna, would love your help here!
