We can fill the socket with bone graft material and as this area heals, the bone graft will integrate into the bone within your jaw. This can also provide a strong foundation for future dental implant placement. Ridge PreservationWhen tooth removal becomes unavoidable, the question of jaw preservation becomes paramount. Without feedback from a tooth the bone under your gums begins to recede. The gums surrounding the lost tooth can also start to recede.

When a tooth is removed, a hole is left behind. This hole is the socket that the root of your tooth sat in. To prevent bone and tissue loss we fill the socket with bone or bone substitute.
