Ridge Preservation

Careful management of extraction sockets after tooth extraction prevents unsightly bone loss and a better cosmetic outcome of tooth replacement. No longer are patients forced to live with traumatic extraction of the teeth that results in bone loss. The “gold standard” today is that whenever teeth are extracted the empty space or socket is filled with material to promote natural bone growth in our bodies. This will allow patients future implant consideration, more bone to retain dentures or areas more easily cleaned under crown and bridgework.
