After Extraction
When your doctor removes a damaged tooth, it leaves behind a void where the tooth was. Bone loss occurs without the tooth present to stimulate the jaw bone.
Socket Grafting with Allograft Bone
Your doctor may choose to place some allograft bone graft material in the void left behind. This will promote bone growth.
Healing Phase
The bone graft material provides the structure for your body’s cells to migrate to the void and remodel the graft into your own bone tissue. After healing your jaw bone will better support dental implants.
