Extractions

Atraumatic, Biological Extractions with PRF & Ozone

At Phoenix Biological Dentistry, we approach tooth extractions with a focus on long-term health, proper healing, and whole-body wellness.

​

While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when an extraction is the best option to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and protect surrounding bone and tissue.

A Biological Approach to Tooth Extraction

Unlike conventional extractions, our process is designed to fully clean and prepare the site to support optimal healing.

​

We perform a sequestrectomy, which involves removing the periodontal ligament and any infected or necrotic tissue. This step is critical in reducing the risk of cavitations (areas of improper healing that can harbor bacteria and toxins).

​

This thorough approach helps ensure:

• Reduced risk of chronic infection

• Better bone healing

• A healthier foundation for future treatment

Root Canal Extractions: Special Considerations

Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment require advanced surgical care.

These teeth are often more brittle and prone to fracture during removal. If fragments are left behind, they can lead to ongoing infection or delayed healing.

​

Our technique focuses on:

• Careful removal of the entire tooth and root structure

• Elimination of periapical infection or inflammatory tissue

• Preservation of surrounding bone for future restoration

Ozone Therapy for a Clean Surgical Site

After extraction, we use ozone therapy to disinfect the area and reduce harmful microbes.

​

This step supports:

• Lower bacterial load

• Reduced inflammation

• Improved healing conditions

PRF & Bone Grafting for Faster Healing

Following extraction, we often place bone grafting material combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to support regeneration.

​

PRF is created using your own blood and contains:

• Growth factors that accelerate healing

• White blood cells that support immune response

• Proteins that aid tissue regeneration

​

This combination helps:

• Preserve bone volume

• Prepare the site for future ceramic dental implants

• Reduce risk of dry socket or complications

Atraumatic Extraction Technique (Ögram System)

Dr. Hamdan is trained in the Ögram System, an advanced method for atraumatic tooth removal.

​

This technique:

• Minimizes trauma to surrounding bone

• Preserves implant anatomy

• Allows for more predictable healing outcomes

​

It is especially beneficial for patients considering same-day or future ceramic dental implants.

What to Expect After an Extraction

Our goal is not just to remove the tooth—but to ensure the site heals properly and supports your long-term health.

​

Depending on your needs, we may discuss:

• Ceramic implant placement

• Ceramic restorations

• Ongoing biological care

FAQs About Tooth Extractions

1. When is a tooth extraction necessary?
When a tooth is severely infected, fractured, or cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be the healthiest option.

​

2. What is a cavitation and why does it matter?
A cavitation is an area where the bone does not heal properly after extraction. Our protocol is designed to reduce this risk.

​

3. Is PRF safe?
Yes—PRF is made from your own blood, making it a natural and biocompatible way to enhance healing.

​

4. Will I need a bone graft after extraction?
In many cases, yes. Bone grafting helps preserve the structure needed for future implants.

​

5. How long does healing take?
Initial healing occurs within a few weeks, but full bone regeneration may take several months depending on the case.
