BONE GRAFTING & SOCKET PRESERVATION
Gentle Touch Family Dentistry
Bone Grafting & Socket Preservation
In unfortunate circumstances where a tooth is deemed unrestorable and has to be removed, the jaw bone surrounding the tooth space, also referred to as the socket, goes through remodeling during the healing process.
This is because the bone does not serve the purpose of holding the tooth anymore. This remodeling of the bone can cause drastic resorption of the bone in the area of the missing tooth, and can lead to more severe consequences such as shifting of teeth and malocclusion. This is why today’s standard of care recommends taking steps to preserve the bone structure by bone grafting and socket preservation at the time of extraction. During this procedure, the socket is packed with bone graft particle to function as a matrix for your own cells and bioregenerative material is used to help enhance your cells’ ability to heal while preserving the integrity of the bone structure in your jaw.
