Preserving the area around a tooth extraction site can make it possible for you to get dental implants. Implants support several types of teeth restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures, filling in your smile and giving you back a strong bite.
To receive implants, you need sufficient jawbone for them to fuse with. Many times after a tooth extraction or tooth loss, the bone mass in that area begins to deteriorate. In time, your jaw may become so weak or thin that placing implants is not possible.
Preserving a tooth extraction site can help you maintain a strong jawbone. Even if you’re not ready to get your new implants now, your jaw will be healthy enough when the time is right.

Dr. Johnson was recommended by a friend. His cosmetic treatment has made such a huge change. I’m not scared to go and speak in public anymore. I’m not constantly covering my mouth. I’m willing to give a smile, and I get compliments all the time on it.”
Very professional and the people are always nice and patient. Extremely convenient location and staff are always on time. Excellent work on my crowns.
I’ve enjoyed going to Dr. Johnson and his staff. All are very kind and helpful. Dr. Johnson takes a lot of care to make sure I am comfortable and aware of everything that is going on. It is a very friendly and comfortable environment.
Extraction site preservation, also known as socket preservation, is a way of filling the hole created when a tooth is extracted. This is a type of bone graft in which bone tissue is added to your jaw to help maintain its shape and minimize bone loss as a result of a missing tooth or teeth.
Dr. Johnson wants your mouth to be as healthy as possible at all times. If a tooth has to be removed, then there was a problem of some kind. To reduce the impact of that missing tooth, the extraction site preservation procedure can keep your jawbone strong while you recover. This also makes it easier to place dental implants when you are ready for replacement teeth.
As with many treatments, what is and isn’t covered by dental insurance can vary widely between providers and even different plans offered by the same provider. You can rest assured that our team at Johnson Dentistry will work to get you the maximum benefits possible from your plan. You also can take advantage of third-party financing with CareCredit.
