40-60% of bone volume is lost within the first year of a tooth extracted, but grafted sites prevent that. A denture will result in more rapid bone volume loss than simply extracting, so every little helps. If implants are planned in the future, this may be a significant savings of both time and money. If implants AREN'T planned, this still preserves bone needed for denture stability.
Hi:I highly recommend bone grafting after extraction to preserve as much of the bone as possible as part of a denture or a implant supported prosthesis. Without bone grafting high percentage of the bone will resorb due to the space created in the extraction site by removing the root of the tooth.Best,Dr. Maddahi
