SOCKET PRESERVATION: THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL IMPLANT PLACEMENT AND BONE GRAFTING

Socket preservation with implant and graft is a procedure that is commonly performed in dental clinics, such as the HSR Dental Booth where Dr. Jalpa Tank practices. When a tooth is extracted, it leaves behind an empty socket in the jawbone. Without proper intervention, this socket can deteriorate over time, leading to complications for future dental implants. Socket preservation involves placing a bone graft into the socket immediately after extraction to maintain its volume and shape. The graft material stimulates new bone growth, ensuring that the socket remains viable for an implant in the future.

Dr. Jalpa Tank, a skilled and experienced dentist at HSR Dental Booth, understands the importance of socket preservation with implant and graft. She recognizes that preserving the socket after tooth extraction is crucial for successful dental implant placement. By using a bone graft material, Dr. Jalpa Tank ensures that the socket maintains its integrity and provides a stable foundation for an implant.

During the socket preservation procedure, Dr. Jalpa Tank carefully removes the remaining tooth and any infected tissue from the socket. She then thoroughly cleans and disinfects the area to prevent any post-operative infection. Once the socket is prepared, Dr. Jalpa Tank places a bone graft material into the empty space. This graft material can be derived from various sources, such as synthetic materials or from the patient's own bone. The purpose of the graft is to stimulate new bone formation and prevent the collapse of the socket.

After placing the bone graft, Dr. Jalpa Tank covers the area with a membrane or protective barrier to enhance healing and prevent soft tissue ingrowth into the socket. This barrier helps to maintain space for new bone growth and ensures that the graft remains undisturbed during the healing process.

The socket preservation procedure with implant and graft not only preserves the integrity of the jawbone but also provides several benefits for patients. By maintaining the volume and shape of the socket, future dental implants can be placed more easily and predictably. Additionally, socket preservation minimizes post-operative complications, such as gum recession or bone loss, which can occur when a tooth is extracted without proper preservation techniques.

In conclusion, socket preservation with implant and graft is a vital procedure performed at HSR Dental Booth by Dr. Jalpa Tank. This procedure ensures that extracted sockets maintain their volume and shape, providing a solid foundation for future dental implants. By using bone graft materials and protective barriers, Dr. Jalpa Tank promotes new bone growth and prevents complications associated with tooth extractions. Patients can trust in Dr. Tank's expertise and skill in performing socket preservation procedures for optimal dental implant outcomes.
