Tooth Extractionsand Ridge Preservation
Tooth extractions and ridge preservation are essential services within the field of periodontal care, designed to not only address immediate dental health issues but also to ensure the long-term integrity of your oral structure. When a tooth is extracted, the natural ridge that supports your teeth can begin to deteriorate, affecting both the appearance of your smile and your eligibility for future dental treatments like implants. Ridge preservation involves filling the empty socket with bone grafting material immediately after extraction, promoting natural bone regeneration and maintaining the ridge’s shape. This proactive approach minimizes bone loss, maintains the esthetic contour of your jawline, and creates a solid foundation for potential future restorations, making it an invaluable service for preserving your dental health and appearance.
Tooth Extractions& Ridge Preservation
Tooth extractions and ridge preservation play a key role in maintaining oral health and structure. After a tooth is removed, ridge preservation prevents the supporting bone from deteriorating by filling the socket with bone graft material. This process encourages natural bone growth, preserves jawline contour, and prepares for future dental work like implants. It’s a vital step in keeping your smile intact and ensuring long-term dental wellness.
