Contact UsWhat Is Ridge Preservation?
A ridge preservation procedure can help conserve the bone and gum tissue after a tooth has been extracted. This procedure has many benefits, including how it prepares the extraction site for an implant without the need for a graft. In addition, it can help to keep the original appearance of your smile after extraction. Immediately after a tooth extraction, a ridge preservation procedure is performed using an advanced grafting product to fill the vacant socket. This filling material can help promote the regrowth of the socket. If you are having a tooth extraction procedure, contact Wellesley Aesthetic Dental Group in Wellesley, MA to learn more information on ridge preservation and how it can be helpful to you.
Should I Have a Ridge Preservation?
A good candidate for a ridge preservation process is any individual who is having an extraction. It's also helpful when you would like to replace an extracted tooth with an implant. This procedure can reduce ridge atrophy that may take place following the extraction; it can also prevent the need for a surgical graft in the future. A ridge preservation process also works to cover and protect the empty socket from disease and lost volume in the jawbone. Before performing an extraction, we will check to be certain you're a good candidate for ridge preservation following your extraction procedure.

How Is a Ridge Preservation Performed?
The ridge preservation procedure will be performed in our Wellesley, MA office. Once your tooth is extracted with care to save the bone as much as possible, we will begin the ridge preservation process by filling out the vacant socket with all the grafting material. The bone may then be covered with a barrier material or sutures. At first, the material will support the surrounding tissue as it heals; then, in time, the regrowth of bone will occur, giving support to the area.
What Is The Ridge Preservation Recovery Process?
We will provide specific aftercare instructions to follow while you heal from your procedure. You might feel some slight swelling or pain that you should be able to manage with over-the-counter pain medications as needed. If you have lasting pain, excessive bleeding, or even a high fever, it's imperative that you call our Wellesley, MA office immediately. A second appointment may also be requested so we can evaluate your recovery process and/or determine when you are ready to receive an implant.
