Socket preservation is a crucial dental procedure performed by Dr. Jai Kolliboyana, our dentists in Round Rock, Texas. This procedure is instrumental in maintaining the integrity and volume of the jawbone after a tooth extraction, providing a stable foundation for future dental implants or dentures.

The Purpose of Socket Preservation:

- Preventing Bone Loss: Preserves the bone structure at the extraction site, minimizing post-extraction bone resorption.
- Enhancing Implant Readiness: Creates a suitable environment for future dental implant placement.
- Supporting Prosthetic Options: Maintains sufficient bone volume for denture stability.

The Socket Preservation Procedure:

- Evaluation: We assess your oral health and determine the need for socket preservation.
- Graft Material: Specialized grafting material is placed within the empty socket, effectively sealing it.
- Healing and Integration: Over time, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, preserving its volume.

Benefits of Socket Preservation:

- Facilitates Implants: Ensures a robust foundation for future dental implants.
- Oral Health Maintenance: Minimizes the risk of complications like bone loss and gum recession.
- Prosthetic Stability: Enhances the fit and stability of dentures.
