Extractions the last resort a dentist takes to a badly broken down tooth. Severity of the procedure depends either regular or surgical on how badly the tooth is broken and to what level it is, also an impacted tooth will need to be extracted surgically. A bone graft is usually used in the extracted socket to preserve the bone height and minimize the resorption occurring during the healing process, making it a more favourable site for implant placement without the need of other surgical procedures to increase bone height and width to prepare the site for implants.
