Protect Your Bone After Extraction
Socket preservation maintains bone volume immediately after a tooth is removed, keeping the site ready for a future dental implant and preserving your jaw contour.

Why Socket Preservation Matters
When a tooth is extracted, the bone that once supported it begins to resorb rapidly. Without intervention, significant bone loss can occur within weeks, making future dental implant placement more difficult or even impossible without additional bone grafting procedures.
Extraction site preservation addresses this by placing bone graft material directly into the empty socket at the time of extraction. This maintains the bone volume and ridge width needed for a successful implant in the future.
The Preservation Procedure
Socket preservation is performed immediately after tooth extraction, during the same appointment. After the tooth is removed, the socket is cleaned and bone graft material is carefully placed to fill the void. The site is then covered to protect the graft while it heals. Over the following months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, preserving the site for implant placement.
