Socket Preservation After Tooth Extraction
A simple step at the time of extraction that protects your jawbone and keeps the door open for a future implant.
Protect the bone
Keep the door open for a future implant.
When a tooth is removed, the empty socket begins to lose bone within months. Socket preservation fills the socket with graft material right after the extraction, helping maintain the height and width of the bone. It is one of the simplest ways to keep the door open for a dental implant later and to keep your gum line looking natural.
Benefits
Why socket preservation is worth it.
- Preserves the bone needed for a future implant.
- Can reduce or avoid the need for a larger bone graft later.
- Helps maintain the natural shape of your gums and smile.
