Immediately after a tooth is extracted, a natural process of bone remodeling and resorption takes place. To counteract this physiological phenomenon, the socket of the extracted tooth is filled with a regenerative material (bone graft) in order to help prevent the bone resorption that will eventually compromise the anatomy, function and esthetics.
The regenerative material will serve as a scaffold for your own bone cells to better grow, repair and heal the socket allowing your jawbone to have the dimensions, quality and density required if implants are considered to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
This technique is utilized with specialized microsurgical instruments to carefully remove a tooth in order to dramatically reduce or eliminate the trauma to the surrounding tissues preserving the remaining bone around your teeth.
The advantages of the bone preservation technique include:
