Ever heard of Socket Preservation? It helps protect the bone and shape of the area after an extraction, especially if you are considering an implant.
In this procedure, the tooth is removed and the empty space is filled with bone (or a bone substitute) and covered with gum or a protective membrane/tissue to support your bodyβs natural healing. This helps prevent the area from shrinking or βcollapsingβ, protects the shape of the gums, and creates new bone that can become a strong foundation if youβre considering a future Dental Implant, especially in the front teeth where the shape matters most.
