Socket PreservationIn Moorestown, NJ
After a tooth is removed, your jawbone naturally begins to change but socket preservation gives you the opportunity to protect it. Socket preservation is a straightforward procedure that helps maintain your bone structure and keeps future options like dental implants open.
What does socket preservation involve?
When a tooth is removed, the jawbone underneath begins to break down almost immediately. This bone supports your facial structure and plays a critical role in future tooth replacement options like implants.We understand this may sound intimidating, but don’t worry. Our surgeon is highly skilled in protecting your oral health even after extraction. That’s where socket preservation comes in. It’s a simple procedure your oral surgeon may recommend at the time of extraction to help prevent bone loss. By placing a small amount of bone graft material directly into the empty socket, we help preserve the natural shape of your jaw and maintain the strength needed for long-term oral health. It’s a small step that can make a big difference.
