Bone grafting is often recommended for patients who have experienced jawbone loss due to oral health conditions, trauma, or missing teeth. It helps restore bone density and may support future treatments, such as dental implants.
Different materials may be used for bone grafts, including donor tissue, animal-derived grafts, or synthetic substitutes. Many dental professionals now use biocompatible synthetic grafting materials to help promote new bone growth and provide support for additional procedures.
Dentists usually will insert a bone graft into your gum during a tooth extraction procedure. This is convenient because the gum is already open and exposed. A suture is done and the area heals.
Your bone integrates with the bone graft material. The bone graft material spurs your bone to develop and reproduce, creating more bone density.
Bone grafting is a routine procedure at our clinic, performed by trained dental professionals.
Dissolvable stitches are often used, or they may be removed by your dentist during a follow-up visit. Healing time varies, and it may take several months for the area to be ready for future dental procedures.
We use local anesthetic to help ensure your comfort throughout the process.
