Socket Preservation in Hialeah & Miami Gardens
Socket Preservation in Hialeah & Miami Gardens
Protect your jawbone after a tooth extraction with socket preservation — the key to successful dental implant placement in the future.
After a tooth is extracted, the jawbone can begin to shrink within weeks. Socket preservation (also called alveolar ridge preservation) is a procedure performed immediately after extraction to maintain the bone volume needed for future dental implants. Cool Smilez Family Dentistry offers socket preservation at our Hialeah and Miami Gardens offices.
Why Socket Preservation Matters
- Prevents bone loss after tooth extraction
- Maintains the shape of your jaw and face
- Preserves bone volume for future dental implants
- Reduces the need for extensive bone grafting later
- Improves long-term outcomes for implant placement
The Socket Preservation Procedure
- Performed immediately after tooth extraction
- Bone graft material placed in the empty socket
- Membrane placed over the graft to protect it
- Healing time: 3–6 months before implant placement
- Minimal discomfort — similar to a regular extraction
