Ridge Preservation

Dr Willis will perform this procedure at the time a tooth is extracted to preserve the underlying bony structure.

It’s necessary because, when teeth are extracted, the tooth-supporting alveolar bone resorbs away over time, which can compromise the aesthetics and function of your dental implant or denture.

This can be performed comfortably under local anaesthesia, but Dr Willis can discuss the option of using sedation or general anaesthesia in hospital for extra comfort.
