What is a socket preservation after an extraction and why do I need one
When a tooth is extracted from the jaw bone an extraction socket is formed. The body will naturally heal this in about 3 months. Initially a blood clot forms, then fibrous tissue and finally solid bone. Unfortunately, the walls of the socket often collapse inwards and the volume of bone remaining is reduced.
