Socket preservation is a crucial dental procedure performed by Dr. Jai Kolliboyana and Dr. Juhi Hirpara, 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.
