Ridge preservation
Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede.
If you later decide to have an Implant fitted …
… it may mean that the Implant would sit too high …
… or the Crown would sit too low for your ‘bite’.
A material can be inserted into the cavity to encourage bone re-growth.
Over time, this will provide a sufficient amount of bone to support the Implant.
