Why Do You Bone Graft a Socket?
Socket preservation through bone grafting is a vital step in maintaining optimal bone structure following a tooth extraction. By grafting the socket, we prevent the natural process of bone shrinkage, preserving the integrity and volume of the jawbone. This essential procedure creates a stable foundation for future dental implant placement, ensuring ideal positioning and long-term success. At Legacy Dental, we prioritize socket preservation to support the best possible outcomes for our patients’ dental implant treatments.
What Is A Sinus Lift?
Your sinus is an air filled sac held up by the roots of your back upper teeth. Over time after a tooth is extracted the sinus lowers into the area previously occupied by the roots. To place an Implant this space needs to be reclaimed. With bone graft material the sinus is pushed back up allowing for Dental Implant placement.

What Is Gum Surgery Or Osseous Surgery?
Osseous surgery is used to access tarter and pathologic bacteria in areas deep underneath the gums that conventional cleanings can’t reach.
Once accessed the tarter, bad bacteria, and inflammed tissue are removed and the bone previously destroyed by the bacteria is reshaped to proper form.
