Can bone come out with a tooth removal?

Yes, in some cases, bone can come out with a tooth extraction. This is most common when a tooth is severely impacted or decayed, or when the surrounding bone is weak. When a tooth is impacted, it is partially or completely stuck within the jawbone. This can make the extraction more difficult and increase the risk of bone loss. In addition, if the tooth is decayed, the infection can spread to the surrounding bone and weaken it. This can also lead to bone loss during extraction.

If a significant amount of bone is lost during extraction, it may need to be replaced with a bone graft. This is a surgical procedure in which bone from another part of the body is transplanted to the jawbone. The bone graft will help to support the remaining teeth and prevent further bone loss.
