St. Petersburg, FL.
When a tooth cannot be saved, how it comes out matters as much as the decision itself. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD extracts biologically: ozone-treated sockets, LPRF healing from your own blood, and a site left ready for what comes next.
Why It Matters
Socket care decides healing.
Extraction sites left dirty are where cavitations start. A biological extraction closes the loop the same day: ozone disinfects the socket, LPRF fills it, and imaging tracks the healing.
-
LPRF from your own blood
Platelet-rich fibrin drawn chairside supports the socket from day one.
- Drawn the same visit
- Supports bone regeneration
- Reduces empty-socket risk
- Healing tracked with imaging
A site ready for next
Extraction, preservation, and replacement run as one plan.
- Socket preservation options
- Same-day implant in many cases
- Zirconia replacement path
- Written plan first
Biological vs Standard
Biological vs standard extraction.
Any extraction removes the tooth. The biological version treats the socket as the patient for the next hour.

| Property | Biological extraction | Standard extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Disinfection | Ozone at the socket | Rarely |
| Healing support | LPRF from your own blood | Clot alone |
| Antibiotics | Avoided in most cases | Commonly prescribed |
| Follow-up | Imaging tracks the site | As needed |
| Next step | Site prepared for an implant | Planned separately |
The Process
A biological extraction, step by step.
The arc goes from imaging to a tracked, healing socket, with replacement planned in the same document.
-
Scan and decision
CBCT imaging confirms the tooth cannot be saved, and the written plan covers extraction and what follows.
-
Careful removal
The tooth comes out with the socket fully debrided.
-
Ozone and LPRF
Medical-grade ozone disinfects the socket, and LPRF drawn from your own blood goes in before closing.
-
Tracked healing
Follow-up imaging watches the site, with implant placement sequenced per the plan.
When conditions allow, extraction and zirconia implant placement happen in a single visit.

Extraction FAQ
Questions about holistic extractions in St. Petersburg.
The questions patients ask most before a biological extraction.
The socket gets treated as part of the surgery: ozone disinfection, LPRF from your own blood, and imaging follow-up, instead of a gauze pad and hope.
Extraction sites left dirty are where cavitations form: pockets of dead bone that drive inflammation for years. Clean closure protects the site. About cavitation surgery.
In many cases, yes. When bone volume allows, extraction and zirconia implant placement finish in one appointment. Zirconia implants.
Costs follow the site and what the plan pairs with it: preservation, grafting, or an implant. Written estimate first, always.
