Socket Preservation
When tooth is extracted, the surrounding gums and bones have a tendency to shrink. This causes them to recede at a fast pace, which may result in defects and collapse of cheeks/lips. These jaw deformities due to tooth extraction can be repaired by socket preservation. This procedure betters the overall oral health, at the same time, preserves the beauty of your smile and improves the chances of having more successful dental implants in the future.
At New Falls Dental, we follow the process of filling up the empty tooth socket with bone or bone substitute after the tooth extraction, so that your body’s natural ability to repair the socket is followed after this. It results in no shrinkage and no collapse of the surrounding tissues.
Bone Grafting
Dental implants need a bone suitable and strong enough to hold a crown on it, but at times the jawbones associated with your missing teeth get resorbed. This may further lead to poor quality of bone to be able to support the implants. Bone grafting is the procedure where we aim to replace the bone that is missing as well as promote the growth of the new bone. The process of bone grafting helps you in restoring the functionality of your mouth and also helps to enhance your aesthetic appearance.
