Is Socket Preservation The Right Treatment For Me?

By opting for socket preservation, you can prevent the bone loss that often occurs after an extraction. In addition, this treatment ensures that the area heals properly and minimizes the need for future bone grafting procedures. Our skilled dentist will evaluate your case and determine if socket preservation suits you.

If you recently had a tooth extraction or plan to have one, socket preservation may be the right treatment. At Alexandria Dental Spa, we understand the importance of preserving oral health and jawbone integrity. Socket preservation is a dental procedure that helps maintain the natural contours of your jawbone after tooth extraction.

Consultation And Evaluation

Preparing For The Procedure

Before the socket preservation treatment, our dental team will explain the procedure in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have. We will ensure that you are well informed and comfortable with the process. If necessary, we may take X-rays or scans to assess the condition of your jawbone.

Anesthesia And Comfort Measures

Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the extraction site to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Our team will also discuss additional sedation options if you prefer a more relaxed experience. But, again, your well-being and comfort are our top priorities, and we will take all necessary measures to ensure a pain-free treatment.

Socket Preservation Procedure

Once you are numb and comfortable, our Alexandria dentist will begin the socket preservation procedure. First, the extraction site will be carefully cleaned, and any infected or damaged tissue will be removed. Then, a specialized grafting material will be placed into the socket. This material acts as a scaffold for new bone growth, promoting the preservation of your jawbone's natural shape and density.

Things A Socket Preservation Treatment Can Fix
