Ridge Preservation
The Importance of Ridge Preservation for Dental Health
At Oaks at Radford Hills, we understand that maintaining optimal dental health is crucial for overall well-being. We offer a comprehensive ridge preservation procedure that promotes healthy teeth and gums. Designed to minimize bone loss after tooth extraction, ridge preservation plays a vital role in preserving the integrity of the jawbone, ensuring long-term oral health.
What is Ridge Preservation?
Ridge preservation is a dental procedure aimed at preventing the deterioration of bone structure following a tooth extraction. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone immediately begins to naturally resorb or shrink. This bone loss can lead to significant aesthetic and functional changes, impacting adjacent teeth and compromising future tooth replacement options.
Our highly skilled dental professionals at Oaks at Radford Hills utilize advanced ridge preservation techniques to minimize bone loss. By carefully placing grafting materials, such as synthetic bone or bone substitute material, into the extraction socket, we stimulate bone regeneration and encourage new bone growth. This process helps to maintain the natural contour of the jawbone, preserving the foundation for future dental treatments.
The Benefits of Ridge Preservation
Ridge preservation offers numerous benefits, including:
- Prevents Bone Loss: By preserving the bone structure, ridge preservation reduces the need for additional bone grafting procedures in the future.
- Promotes Natural Appearance: Retaining the natural shape and contours of the jawbone ensures optimal functionality and aesthetics.
- Preserves Surrounding Teeth: Ridge preservation helps to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting or becoming misaligned due to bone loss.
- Enhances Dental Implant Success: Maintaining a healthy and robust jawbone is essential for the long-term success of dental implants.
- Improves Oral Health: By preserving the integrity of the jawbone, ridge preservation contributes to overall oral health and function.
