Protecting Your Smile After Tooth Extraction
When a tooth is removed, the empty socket is left behind in the bone and gums. Without treatment, this area often begins to shrink, leading to bone loss, gum recession, and changes in your bite or facial structure. This can make it harder to place a future implant or bridge and may affect the look and stability of your smile.
At ATX Dental, we use socket preservation, a specialised technique designed to protect the bone and maintain a healthy foundation for future restorations. After a tooth extraction, grafting material is placed directly into the socket to prevent bone loss and encourage natural healing. This preserves the strength and shape of the jaw, making it much easier to replace the tooth later with an implant, bridge, or denture.
