Ridge Preservation
From the time the teeth are removed, significant degeneration of the surrounding bone begins to take place. Without the stimulation of tooth roots to tell the body jaw bone and soft tissues are needed, they begin to recede or collapse. As these supporting structures break down, it puts the mouth at risk of further tooth loss. When one or more teeth are extracted from the mouth, Dr. Delaram Hanookai may recommend ridge preservation immediately following the extraction to rebuild and stabilize the bone in the area. This reduces complications and costs that can otherwise accumulate prior to tooth replacement. The procedure can also be performed in areas of the mouth where teeth have been missing for a while to help recreate the supporting structure.
