Ridge Preservation to Protect Your Jawbone After Tooth Extraction
After a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone can begin to shrink because it no longer has a natural tooth root to support. Many patients do not notice this change right away, but bone loss can affect facial support, gum shape, and future dental implant planning.
At Crystalline Dental in Vaughan, ridge preservation helps protect the extraction site and maintain bone volume after a tooth is removed. This treatment may be recommended when patients want to reduce bone loss and keep better options open for future tooth replacement.
