Socket Preservation & Bone Grafting in Anaheim, CA
Protect your jawbone volume immediately following tooth extraction to ensure a stable foundation for future dental restorations.
Overview: What You Need to Know
When a tooth is removed, the surrounding alveolar bone socket naturally begins to resorb. Within the first year following an extraction, up to 40% to 50% of the bone ridge width can melt away as the body reabsorbs unneeded bone.
Socket preservation bone grafting is a preventative procedure performed immediately following a tooth extraction. By filling the empty socket with sterile, biocompatible bone mineral matrix and placing a protective collagen membrane, we provide a scaffold that guides natural bone regeneration.
This simple step preserves the height, width, and natural contours of your jawbone, making future dental implant placement faster, more predictable, and often eliminating the need for major future bone reconstructions.
Who May Benefit from Socket Preservation & Bone Grafting?
- Anyone undergoing a tooth extraction who may want a dental implant in the future
- Extractions in the aesthetic smile zone where preserving natural gum contours is critical
- Patients with localized bone loss from previous dental infections
