STOP BONE LOSS, THE NATURAL WAY

What happens after tooth extraction?

1. After an extraction, the jaw bone naturally begins to erode away since it is no longer needed to support the tooth that has been removed.
2. There will be significant bone height and width loss even after the extraction site has completely healed.

 What is socket preservation?

Socket preservation is a procedure in which graft material or scaffold is placed in the socket of an extracted tooth at the time of extraction to preserve the jaw bone.

Why should I do socket preservation?

Socket preservation procedure prevents immediate bone loss after extraction thus keeping  the contour and integrity of  the socket natural looking and for successful placement of artificial teeth in the future. Without socket preservation, the remaining bone could lose volume and this will result in changes in facial aesthetics. Furthermore, socket preservation can save you from going through a second surgery of bone grafting with additional costs, pain and waiting time.
