What is Socket Preservation Technique?
Following tooth extraction, approximately 50% of the bone ridge width and some of its height can be lost within the first year. Most of this resorption takes place within the first three months after extraction. This can have negative result on future implant placement, create gaps under dental bridge or denture restoration. This would result in unsightly appearance, allows food trap and hinder oral hygiene.
Socket preservation technique utilises bone and occasionally gum grafting and will help eliminating all of the above complications. We also recommend using the PRF biological technique. It has been shown this technique with its ease of use and simple handling increased the quality enhanced the rate & quality of bone formation.
This will give you peace of mind should you elect to delay the implant procedure and keep your options open on how to replace the missing tooth.
