Extraction Site Preservation in Arab, AL

Whenever you need to have a tooth extracted, preserving the extraction site is crucial if you want to avoid jawbone deterioration, shifting of the adjacent teeth, or bite issues that can affect your ability to speak and chew efficiently.

Our experienced dentists at North Alabama Smiles in Arab, Alabama, provide the most efficient extraction site preservation procedures to ensure your oral health and prepare you for restorative treatments. 

What Is Extraction Site Preservation?

During an extraction site preservation procedure, our dentists at North Alabama Smiles treat the jawbone area located under the tooth socket to prevent it from shrinking. The procedure is also very useful in preparing the area for dental implants or other types of restorations. 

In some cases, patients also require a bone graft after tooth extraction. This procedure can be performed simultaneously with the extraction to save you time and ensure the jawbone has the necessary density for restorative procedures. 

Benefits of Extraction Site Preservation

Extraction site preservation helps maintain your overall oral health and has the following main benefits:

  • Cosmetic Benefits 

If the tooth extraction site is not preserved, the gums and jawbone will shrink. This, in turn, can lead to cosmetic imperfections, sores, or more complex oral issues that will require complex medical care. 

  • Dental Implants 

All dental restorations, whether it is dental implants, bridges, partial or permanent dentures, require adequate gum and jawbone support. Extraction site preservation helps protect and strengthen these vital structures so that, in the future, if you want to choose any of the tooth restoration options above, there will be no hindrances.

  • Healthy Smile

Extraction site preservation after tooth removal can help prevent the development of painful dental issues such as dry socket and ensure your overall dental health is optimal. When you take appropriate care of your teeth and gums after an extraction, you protect the appearance of your smile. This will help you maintain a healthy and flawless smile that will go a long way in helping you find success in many areas of your life.
