Socket grafting is a procedure done to preserve the maximum amount of bone after tooth extraction. It may be necessary before implant placement or bridge placement to lay a solid foundation.
If our implant dentist in Melbourne office has mentioned that you may need to have a socket graft, you might find yourself wondering exactly what this procedure is and what it entails.
So as not to cause another undue surgical procedure -to get graft material from the patient- substitutes like tissue bank materials, or material from bovine or cadaver sources might be used. Alternately, synthetic bone may also be used as graft material.
Bone erosion can happen relatively quickly. It may have negative impact on the bone volume, cause excessive gum shrinkage and even affect adjacent teeth. Hence socket bone grafting may be more crucial, particularly if it is for the front teeth or where the bone is thin.
