Assessment
The tooth, surrounding bone and future restorative plan are evaluated.
REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY · SOCKET PRESERVATION
Preserve the bone. Plan for what comes next.
After a tooth is removed, the bone that supported it naturally begins to shrink. Socket preservation is performed at the time of extraction to help maintain the shape and volume of the jawbone.
A bone-grafting material is gently placed into the extraction socket to support healing and limit bone loss — especially when a future dental implant is being considered.

WHY PRESERVE THE SOCKET
Extraction removes the tooth.
The site still needs planning.
Once a tooth is removed, the surrounding ridge no longer receives the same stimulation from the root and can gradually lose volume.
Samarani Clinic uses socket preservation to help maintain the extraction site and create a stronger foundation for future restorative treatment when required.
01
Maintain Ridge Shape
Support the natural contour of the jaw after extraction.
02
Limit Bone Loss
Bone grafting material is placed into the socket to support healing.
03
Plan for a Future Implant
Preserving the site may make later implant placement simpler and more predictable.
04
Support Esthetic Contours
Maintaining ridge volume can be especially important in visible areas of the smile.
01
AT THE TIME OF EXTRACTION
Preserve the site
while it is still fresh.
Socket preservation is performed immediately after the tooth is removed. The extraction site is cleaned and assessed before grafting material is placed into the empty socket.
The aim is to support the healing ridge and reduce the amount of collapse that can otherwise occur during the months after extraction.
THINKING BEYOND THE EXTRACTION
Remove carefully.
Preserve the future.
Samarani Clinic's extraction philosophy focuses on protecting surrounding gum and bone wherever possible.
When an implant is planned later, preserving the socket at the time of extraction can help maintain a more favorable foundation for the next stage of treatment.
FUTURE IMPLANT PLANNING
Preserve today.
Prepare for tomorrow.
Socket preservation is particularly relevant when a dental implant is planned but cannot or should not be placed immediately.
Maintaining the ridge can reduce the amount of reconstructive work that may otherwise be required before implant placement.
THE SOCKET PRESERVATION JOURNEY
Extraction and preservation.
Planned as one procedure.
Gentle Extraction
The tooth is removed with an emphasis on preserving surrounding tissues.
Socket Grafting
Bone-grafting material is placed into the empty extraction site.
Healing & Review
The site is monitored before the next restorative stage is planned.
IS IT ALWAYS REQUIRED?
Not every extraction
needs the same approach.
Socket preservation is not automatically required for every extraction. The decision depends on the condition of the socket, the amount of remaining bone and the future treatment plan.
This is why Samarani Clinic recommends deciding on preservation before or at the time of extraction rather than waiting until the site has already healed.
25+ YEARS OF SURGICAL & IMPLANT EXPERIENCE
Extraction is one step.
The treatment plan is bigger.
Samarani Clinic combines surgical, periodontal and implant experience when planning extraction sites that may later receive dental implants.
The objective is to preserve as much healthy anatomy as possible and keep future restorative options open.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before your
extraction.
What is socket preservation?
It is a procedure performed at the time of tooth extraction in which bone-grafting material is placed into the socket to help maintain jawbone shape and volume during healing.
Why does bone shrink after a tooth is removed?
The bone that supported the tooth no longer has the same root stimulation after extraction, so natural remodeling can reduce ridge volume over time.
Is socket preservation useful before an implant?
Yes. Samarani Clinic specifically presents socket preservation as useful when a future dental implant is planned because maintaining the ridge may simplify later implant placement.
Is socket preservation needed after every extraction?
No. Suitability depends on the extraction site, remaining bone and future treatment plan. A clinical assessment is required.
When is socket preservation performed?
It is typically completed at the same appointment as the tooth extraction.
PLANNING A TOOTH EXTRACTION?
