What Is Tooth Replantation?
Tooth replantation is a specialized procedure where a knocked-out tooth is carefully cleaned and repositioned back into its original socket to restore its function and appearance. At Brookwood Endodontics Tuscaloosa, Dr. Adam Powell performs this treatment to help preserve your natural tooth and maintain oral health. Replantation is often a successful solution when addressed promptly, offering a chance to save the tooth and avoid the need for replacement options like implants or bridges. Contact our Tuscaloosa, AL office as soon as a knocked-out tooth occurs for swift treatment.
How Is Tooth Replantation Performed?
Tooth replantation involves several precise steps to ensure the best chance of saving the tooth. First, the tooth is carefully cleaned to remove debris and bacteria while preserving the root's viability. The empty socket is then cleaned and prepared to receive the tooth. Once the tooth is gently reinserted into its original position, it is stabilized using a splint to hold it securely in place while the surrounding tissues heal. Over the following weeks, the tooth's root and surrounding structures are monitored to ensure successful reintegration and restoration of its function.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth Replantation?
Tooth replantation provides several advantages, such as:
- Maintaining the natural tooth structure
- Eliminating the need for implants or bridges
- Restoring natural bite function and appearance
- Reducing the risk of jawbone loss
- Enabling faster recovery than other replacement methods

I had been dealing with excruciating pain in my mouth for a long time and I was referred here by my primary dentist. I was nervous at first, but everyone here was so incredible. They got me in for a last minute appointment and stayed late to help me out. Numbing injections normally don’t work on me, so dental procedures have always been a nightmare. But Dr. Stephen Thomas is a miracle worker and made it where I barely felt anything. 10/10.They just need an office cat and it would be my new favorite place!
I received wonderful treatment from every employee that I encountered, on the phone, and in the office. I have used them in the past, and if needed, I will choose them again in the future.
