Your Southwest Calgary Choice for Alveolar Socket Preservation!

At Woodlands Dental, we recognize the critical role that alveolar socket preservation plays in maintaining oral health following a tooth extraction. When a tooth is removed, the alveolar bone surrounding the socket can begin to reabsorb, leading to bone loss and potential complications for future dental procedures, such as implants. Woodlands Dental’s alveolar socket preservation technique is designed to prevent this deterioration and promote optimal healing. We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic so we can help you on the road to optimal oral health and wellness.

What is Alveolar Socket Preservation?

Alveolar Socket Preservation involves filling a completely contained extraction site with a grafting material immediately after a tooth is extracted. This material may be a bone graft derived from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic option. Doing so helps to preserve the natural contour of the jawbone and create a stable foundation for future dental restorations.

What are the benefits of Alveolar Socket Preservation?

One of the primary benefits of alveolar socket preservation is its ability to enhance the success rate of dental implants following an extraction. By maintaining the bone structure, we can ensure there is sufficient density and volume for implant placement, which can lead to better aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patients often experience less discomfort and quicker recovery times, as the procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia.

At Woodlands Dental, our experienced team employs the latest techniques and materials to ensure effective socket preservation. We take the time to assess your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your oral health goals.
