There are several techniques available that can minimize bone loss while preserving the healthy bone in the jaw after extraction. The most common scenario would involve filling the extraction socket with organic bone particulate or a synthetic substitute. Tooth extraction with bone graft stimulates the body’s natural processes to develop new healthy bone and heal the socket. In the procedure, the site will be covered with a resorbable collagen membrane.
The most compelling reason to pursue extraction socket grafting is to prepare the extraction site for dental implant placement. There are several steps to this process that can be confusing for patients. If you would like to better understand this process check out our page: Timeline – From Extraction to Dental Implant.

Oral hygiene is important during the tooth extraction healing process. Avoid brushing in the 24 hours following your procedure. This will allow the tooth extraction healing process to begin. You should avoid disturbing the graft.
You should generally try and chew soft foods away from the grafted sites for 2 weeks to allow for a normal tooth extraction healing process.
Your surgeon may prescribe a specific mouthwash to use during recovery, otherwise, a warm water and salt gargle can be used to help remove debris and bacteria during the tooth extraction healing process. Use a soft brush for your teeth after the tooth extraction healing process.
Specific postoperative care instructions will be provided for your case, ensuring that the tooth extraction healing process is free of complications.
