Ridge Preservation

When you need to have a tooth or teeth extracted—whether it be due to decay, abscess, gum disease or injury—it is usually in your best interest to do so in a manner that preserves as much of your underlying jawbone as possible. From the time the teeth are removed, significant degeneration of the surrounding bone begins to take place. The amount of shrinkage is unpredictable. Many times the amount of remaining bone shrinks rapidly at first, followed by a more slowly progressing shrinking that occurs over the years afterwards. This shrinking is a natural process, but it is an undesirable result of tooth removal. You have many options to prevent the rapid initial loss of bone, and it is important that you consider them BEFORE any teeth are removed. Some of these procedures are best performed at the time the tooth is removed.
