Bone grafting of the defect by Dr. Nordland has corrected the problem and will extend the life expectancy of the tooth indefinitely.
Jeff presents with a 12mm periodontal pocket and another periodontist had recommended that this tooth be extracted!
Dr. Nordland placed a bone graft to resurrect this tooth with bone regeneration. Typically treatment like this will be long lasting. Our patients have enjoyed treatment success monitored up to 18 years.
