Your jawbone is crucial to your mouth’s structure, function, and overall health. It serves as the foundation for your teeth (and teeth replacements), supports facial aesthetics, and contributes to essential functions like chewing and speaking.
Unfortunately, your jawbone can lose its density and volume because of prolonged tooth loss, advanced gum disease, and dental trauma. Jawbone loss affects your aesthetics and oral function and makes you ineligible for dental implants. A dental implant will successfully integrate with the jawbone if its height and width are sufficient.
Bone grafting involves transplanting a healthy bone graft into the area with bone resorption. Bone grafts can be harvested from your body (autograft), animals, human donors, or synthetic materials. We use high-quality bone grafts that have undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal osseointegration.
Bone grafting can be performed in several ways, depending on the location and condition of the jawbone. Types of bone grafting include:
The dentist will examine your jawbone with digital X-rays and scans to pinpoint areas of bone loss and determine the best bone grafting technique. The surgery is painless because we combine effective anesthetics with gentle techniques. The procedure is quick and precise because the dentist follows the personalized treatment plan developed during the consultation.
The dentist carefully positions the bone graft on the receded area and sutures it to pave the way for healing. The graft material acts as a scaffold, supporting the body’s ability to regenerate bone. Over the next 4-6 months, the site strengthens and develops denser, more stable bone for future dental work.
After surgery, our team gives you post-op instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. We’ll provide instructions on pain management, nutrition, and oral hygiene. We’ll also schedule regular check-ups to monitor healing progress and ensure the graft integrates as expected.
Don’t let bone loss hold you back from a healthy, confident smile. Our advanced bone grafting techniques restore jawbone strength, making dental implants and other restorations possible.
