Ridge Preservation

If a tooth being extracted is planned to be replaced by an implant, then the socket is filled with bone (bone grafting) and an absorbable membrane. This will allow more bone to be present when the implant is placed. The area is generally left to heal 3-4 months prior to placement of the implant.
