Bone Preservation
Socket Preservation – Bone Preservation After Extraction
Immediately after a tooth extraction, the jawbone begins to recede. With socket preservation we fill the empty socket right away and preserve both bone and gum contour – the ideal preparation for a later implant without elaborate bone grafting.
Socket preservation is the filling of the socket after tooth extraction and prevents or minimises resorption of the jawbone following a tooth removal. The procedure is especially valuable for patients planning a later implant, as bone loss would otherwise make implant placement more difficult.
01
Treatment process
- Tooth extractionGentle removal of the tooth that can no longer be preserved.
- Cleaning of the socketThorough removal of tooth remnants and inflamed tissue.
- Filling of the socketFilling with bone substitute material.
- Covering the woundWith a membrane to protect the site and promote healing.
- Healing & bone formationThe bone regenerates and retains its shape.
