Preserving the natural structure of the jawbone is essential for maintaining oral health and ensuring successful dental restorations. At Veda Dentistry, we specialize in socket preservation therapy in East Delhi, a procedure designed to prevent bone loss after tooth extraction. A tooth socket is a cavity in the jawbone that accommodates the root of a tooth. It is also referred to as the dental alveolus. By filling the extraction socket with graft material, we help maintain the bone’s original shape and size, laying the foundation for future dental implants.
Socket Preservation Therapy involves placing graft material into the tooth extraction socket to preserve the alveolar ridge. Without this intervention, the jawbone can quickly resorb after an extraction, leading to the loss of bone height and contour. This therapy is particularly beneficial for maintaining bone integrity and ensuring successful future dental implant placement.
At Veda Dentistry, we customize the treatment plan based on your bone health and individual dental needs.
Dental implants are the best replacement option for missing teeth. However, successful implant placement requires sufficient bone height, depth, and volume. Without socket preservation, the jawbone may deteriorate rapidly after an extraction, creating challenges for implant placement.
Socket preservation:
Maintains Bone Integrity: Prevents immediate bone resorption.
Facilitates Future Implants: Keeps the socket in its natural shape, simplifying implant placement.
Preserves Aesthetics: Maintains the natural contour and dimensions of the jawbone.
Both procedures aim to prepare the jawbone for dental restorations but differ in approach:
Socket Preservation: Graft material is placed directly into the extraction socket to maintain its shape.
Ridge Augmentation: Bone grafts are applied to the jawbone to enhance its height and volume.
The choice between these procedures depends on your dental health, which is carefully evaluated by our experts at Veda Dentistry, East Delhi.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free procedure.
Tooth Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed to avoid damage to the socket.
Socket Cleaning: The extraction socket is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris.
Graft Placement: The socket is filled with graft material to preserve the bone.
Barrier Placement: A protective barrier is placed over the graft to aid healing.
Suturing: Soft tissues are sutured to promote healing and secure the graft.
This minimally invasive procedure requires no hospitalization, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.
Socket preservation prevents bone loss and maintains the natural structure of the jawbone. It ensures that the site is ready for future dental implants and preserves facial aesthetics.
No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. Post-procedure discomfort, if any, is mild and manageable with prescribed medications.
Healing typically takes 3 to 6 months. This period allows the graft material to integrate with the natural bone, providing a stable foundation for future implants.
The cost depends on:
Type of Graft Material: Natural or synthetic grafts.
Extent of Bone Loss: Severe cases may require more material or additional procedures.
Complexity of the Procedure: The patient’s overall dental health can impact the treatment plan.
