Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure, but proper care does not end once a tooth is removed. Maintaining the health and structure of the jawbone after extraction is critical. Without preservation, the surrounding bone and soft tissue can collapse, causing facial features to appear sunken and aged.
Alveolar bone preservation, also called ridge bone preservation, performed by Dr. Oksana Vozna at Dominion Street Dental in Alliston, ON, helps maintain the jawbone’s integrity and prepares the site for future restorations, such as dental implants.
Once the ridge or alveolar bone has been preserved, your jaw is better prepared to support a dental implant. Dental implants are widely recognized as the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a long-lasting solution that restores both function and aesthetics. With proper oral hygiene and routine dental care, implants can last a lifetime, giving you a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Tooth loss can have a significant impact on both oral health and appearance, but dental bone preservation procedures at Dominion Street Dental in Alliston, ON provide the foundation for successful restorations. Protect your jawbone and smile with expert care from Dr. Oksana Vozna.
