Socket Preservation in Tenleytown
Tenleytown is a residential upper-northwest DC neighborhood near American University offering a quiet, suburban feel within the city, and when it comes to socket preservation, the community trusts the team of periodontists at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Washington DC. 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.
The short 15-minute drive from Tenleytown to our Washington DC office is well worth it for the level of specialized socket preservation care our periodontists deliver. 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 Tenleytown.
Our periodontists — Drs. Zalewsky, Alani, Artis, Daru, Lakkis, and Ganesh — combine advanced specialty training with a patient-centered approach. 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. Patients from Tenleytown consistently trust our expertise.
