Socket Preservation London
Protecting and preserving the tooth socket after extraction — the foundation for a successful future implant.
How Socket Preservation Works
Socket Preservation
When a tooth is extracted, the untreated empty socket will collapse and some bone resorption is inevitable. Socket preservation protects that bone — safeguarding your options for a future implant.
The 3 Stages of Socket Preservation
Laser Decontamination
The socket is treated with the laser to kill unwanted bacteria, creating a clean, healthy site for bone to regenerate.
Bio-Stimulation
The bone and gum are bio-stimulated to encourage strong, healthy healing and preserve the volume of the jawbone.
Implant Placement
Around three months later, once the site has healed, the implant can be placed on a well-preserved foundation.
