Socket Preservation Therapy is a crucial procedure performed after tooth extraction to prevent the deterioration of jawbone structure. At Dr. Verma’s Dental Surgery Clinic, this therapy ensures that patients retain adequate bone density for future dental implants and maintain natural facial contours.

What is Socket Preservation Therapy?

After tooth extraction, the empty socket can begin to shrink as the bone resorbs. Socket preservation involves placing a bone graft into this socket to maintain bone volume and promote healing, providing a solid base for future dental restorations.

Why is Socket Preservation Important?

• Preserves bone volume post-extraction
• Maintains jaw structure and facial shape
• Improves success rate of dental implants
• Prevents complications due to bone loss
• Supports natural gum contour

The Procedure

The dentist gently places graft material into the extraction site immediately after tooth removal. A membrane or sutures may be used to protect the area. The graft material integrates over time, forming strong new bone ready for implant support.

Who Should Consider This Therapy?

Socket preservation is ideal for patients planning to receive a dental implant, those concerned about facial aesthetics, or individuals at risk of significant bone loss following an extraction.

Key Benefits

• Facilitates future implant placement
• Reduces need for complex grafting later
• Minimizes gum and bone shrinkage
• Enhances cosmetic outcomes

Aftercare Tips

Patients are advised to avoid smoking, maintain a soft-food diet, and follow oral hygiene instructions. Dr. Verma’s team schedules follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing and bone development.
