What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a necessary surgical procedure for patients with jaw bone loss. This loss can be caused by various conditions such as gum disease or extractions, leading to a sunken appearance and difficulty with implants. Our office offers bone grafting services to address these issues.
What is the purpose of Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is often necessary due to bone loss in the jaw, which can be caused by gum disease or the removal of teeth. If you are considering getting implants or dentures, a bone graft may be required to ensure a successful outcome.
Who is eligible for Bone Grafting?
In order to assess the need for bone grafting, we will perform a thorough examination and take x-rays. These x-rays will help us identify any areas of bone loss around the jaw and determine the most effective method for placing new bone material. We will work closely with you to decide on the best approach for the procedure and ensure it is done in our office.
What occurs during a Bone Grafting procedure?
To begin, we will discuss your needs and determine the best type of bone material for you. After choosing a sedative, we will make an incision in your gums and place the bone material, applying a bone growth factor to aid in blending. Once the bone has healed and fused, we can schedule you for an implant or new denture. Bone grafting surgeries are simple, fast, and can enhance your smile.
