What Is Socket Preservation?
Socket preservation is a procedure performed after a tooth extraction to maintain the bone and tissue structure of the socket, preventing bone loss and ensuring a stable foundation for future dental implants. This procedure is essential for individuals looking to restore their smile with implants, as it helps preserve the natural contours of the jaw and gums.

How Is Socket Preservation Performed?
Socket preservation is typically performed right after a tooth extraction to help maintain the structure of the jawbone and surrounding tissue. During the procedure, a bone graft material is placed into the empty socket to promote healing and prevent bone loss. The graft material is carefully packed into the socket to fill the space left by the removed tooth, stimulating new bone growth and helping preserve the natural contour of the area. Over time, the graft integrates with the surrounding bone, providing a stable foundation for future dental implants.
What Are the Benefits of Socket Preservation?
Socket preservation helps maintain the shape and health of the jawbone after a tooth extraction, offering several important benefits:
- Prevents bone loss in the extraction site
- Maintains the natural contours of the gums and jaw
- Provides a stable foundation for future dental implants
- Improves the chances of successful implant placement
- Preserves oral health and appearance over time
Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons Reviews
Dr. Haynes is very caring with a great "Chairside Manner". He was very concerned about my pain level and did everything possible to keep me comfortable. I recommend him and his staff 100%!
Had 2 bottom teeth extraction yesterday, the staff was so great, will definitely be going back for my top teeth! Little to no pain as of today!
Took my husband to have 2 teeth pulled out a few days ago by Dr Cutbirth. He is an amazing Doctor. He was very nice and caring. He made sure my husband was very comfortable considering the situation. He did an amazing job. My husband is in some discomfort but isn't in so much pain as before. He is healing well thanks to Dr Cutbirths great work. We would definitely recommend coming here.
