Socket Preservation in Fairfax
Residents of Fairfax, the county seat of Fairfax County and a thriving city home to George Mason University and historic Old Town Fairfax, now have convenient access to expert socket preservation care at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in nearby Alexandria. Socket preservation is a bone-grafting procedure performed immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent the natural collapse and resorption of the surrounding bone and soft tissue.
Located just 20 minutes from Fairfax, our Alexandria practice makes it convenient to access specialist-level socket preservation care close to home. Without socket preservation, the extraction site can lose up to 50% of its width within the first year, potentially making future implant placement more complex or even impossible without additional grafting.
Why Precision Periodontics
Board-certified periodontists serving Fairfax.
Our periodontists place bone graft material into the extraction socket and cover it with a protective membrane. This simple procedure at the time of extraction preserves bone volume and dramatically simplifies future implant treatment. Our team includes six board-certified periodontists — Drs. Zalewsky, Alani, Artis, Daru, Lakkis, and Ganesh — giving Fairfax patients access to a depth of expertise unmatched in the DC metro area.
