Socket Preservation
At Holistic Dentists, we believe that every step of your dental care should support long-term health and healing. If you need a tooth extraction, we offer socket preservation—a natural, minimally invasive procedure that helps maintain the strength and structure of your jawbone.
This approach protects your smile, whether you’re considering a future dental implant or simply want to prevent bone loss.
What Is Socket Preservation?
After a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone can shrink over time, affecting both your appearance and oral health. Socket preservation involves placing a biocompatible grafting material into the empty socket immediately after extraction. This helps:
-
Maintain bone structure
and prevent shrinkage -
Support natural healing with your
body’s own regenerative process -
Create a stable foundation for
a future dental implant -
Protect neighboring
teeth from shifting
We typically combine this with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and/or ozone therapy to accelerate tissue healing and reduce discomfort.
Why Is Socket Preservation Important?
-
Changes in facial structure
and appearance -
Difficulty placing future
dental implants - Shifting of surrounding teeth
-
Increased risk of complications
in the future
By choosing socket preservation, you’re taking a proactive step toward maintaining a healthy, natural smile for years to come.
