Ridge Preservation in Brooklyn & Smithtown, NY
Protect your smile’s foundation from the very start. At Renew Dental Spa, we offer ridge preservation following tooth extraction to maintain the shape and volume of your jawbone—setting the stage for future dental implants and long-term oral health.
Whether you’re planning for implants or simply want to prevent bone loss, ridge preservation is a smart, proactive step that helps preserve both your facial structure and treatment options down the road.
What Is Ridge Preservation?
Ridge preservation is a bone grafting technique performed immediately after tooth extraction. Once a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone begins to shrink and collapse—a natural process that can lead to aesthetic changes and limit your ability to get dental implants later.
By placing a bone graft material into the empty socket, we preserve the natural contour of your jaw and help prevent rapid bone loss.
Why Ridge Preservation Matters
Without ridge preservation, patients may experience:
- Jawbone collapse or shrinkage
- Gum recession or indentations
- Limited implant placement options later
- A sunken or aged appearance in the face
This procedure is especially important for anyone considering dental implants or long-term restorative solutions in the future.
Why Choose Renew Dental Spa for Ridge Preservation?
What to Expect During Ridge Preservation
Tooth Extraction
We gently remove the damaged or non-restorable tooth with local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
Bone Graft Placement
A biocompatible bone graft is carefully placed into the socket, then sealed with a collagen membrane or sutures to protect the site.
Healing Period
Over the next few months, your body integrates the graft, creating a solid foundation for future restorations like implants or bridges.
We’ll monitor your healing and guide you through the next steps of your dental care plan.
