Ridge Preservation
Careful management of extraction sockets at the time of tooth extraction prevents unsightly bone loss and provides a better cosmetic outcome for tooth replacement. The need to preserve the maximum height and width of the ridge (socket surrounding bone), as well as the normal soft tissue contour are indications for socket preservation. Dr. Colón can help you decide if you should consider this for your tooth removal based on your periodontal health, the architecture of the bone surrounding your tooth and your future plans for tooth replacement.
