Socket preservation is essential after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss and maintain the natural height and width of your jaw. In cases involving traumatic dental injury, tooth removal may sometimes be unavoidable. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding jaw bone can begin to deteriorate, leading to a weakened jawline and complications for future dental restorations, such as future implants or bridges. By preserving the extraction site with graft material, we help maintain the integrity of your smile, ensuring a strong foundation for both functionality and appearance.

After the extraction, socket preservation involves placing a grafting material in the empty socket where the tooth was removed. This bone grafting procedure promotes bone regeneration and protects the area as it heals during the healing process. The socket is then covered with a protective membrane or sutures to secure the site and support the surrounding tissue. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone in the socket, creating a stable base for future dental work, including future dental implants.

If a tooth, such as a cracked tooth, cannot be saved with endodontic surgery, extraction may be necessary. At Olympic Endo, our Colorado Springs extraction and socket preservation specialist uses advanced techniques to ensure the process is comfortable, precise, and effective, minimizing trauma to the surrounding bone and gums.

If a tooth is knocked out of its socket, it should immediately be rinsed off and placed back in the socket in its original orientation to support the body's natural ability to heal. If that is not possible, the tooth should be kept moist in liquid (milk, saliva, water), and the tooth and patient should be taken to an endodontic office immediately. Every minute counts. The longer the tooth remains out of the socket, the more likely it is to have complications during healing, and the healing process may vary depending on the time elapsed. Even if you are able to put the tooth back in on your own, you should still come in to be evaluated as soon as possible. Additional treatment may be necessary to save your tooth and maintain the surrounding bone and gums.
