I have an abscessed tooth #30. The Periodontist will extract the abscessed tooth and put collagen plugs in the socket to aid healing and is using a flap. I thought it was best to bone graft the socket at the time of extraction. I've read grafting the socket is best but the Periodontist is not recommending this. I do want to proceed with an implant and realize this process can take months.
