Understanding Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a critical procedure we offer to ensure the health and stability of your jawbone, particularly when preparing for dental implants or addressing bone loss due to gum disease. At our periodontal office, we prioritize your oral health and aim to provide the best possible outcomes for your treatment.
A bone graft involves transplanting bone tissue to areas where the jawbone has deteriorated or lacks sufficient density. This procedure is essential when the existing bone structure is inadequate to support dental implants or other restorative treatments. The transplanted bone can be harvested from another part of your body, such as the hip or another area of the jaw. Alternatively, we can use synthetic bone materials or bone from a tissue bank, depending on your specific needs and medical condition.
Building a Strong Foundation for Future Dental Implants
The primary goal of a bone graft is to stimulate new bone growth and create a robust foundation for future dental work. When the graft is placed, your body will gradually integrate it, promoting the natural healing process and enhancing the strength of your jawbone. This integration period is crucial as it ensures the stability and success of subsequent dental implants or periodontal treatments.
Bone grafting becomes necessary after tooth loss or extraction because the jawbone begins to resorb, losing its density and volume over time. By addressing this bone loss through grafting, we can prevent further deterioration and prepare the site for dental implants. These implants not only restore the function and aesthetics of your smile but also help maintain bone structure, preventing future oral health issues.
