Bone grafting is a transformative procedure that addresses bone loss in the jaw, which can result from various conditions such as gum disease or tooth extractions. This loss of bone can not only affect your facial appearance, leading to a sunken-in look, but it can also pose challenges for future dental implants or denture fitting. Fortunately, bone grafting offers a solution, and our team at Melissa Dental Studio is here to help.
Why Consider Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting becomes necessary when there are significant areas of bone loss around the jaw. Conditions like gum disease can gradually erode the bone, while tooth extractions can also contribute to bone resorption over time. Whether you’re planning for dental implants or dentures, ensuring adequate bone support is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
Who Qualifies for Bone Grafting?
Determining your candidacy for bone grafting involves a comprehensive examination and X-rays to assess the extent of bone loss. Our team will carefully evaluate your oral health and bone structure to formulate the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs. Rest assured, we’ll guide you through every step of the process to restore your jaw’s integrity and functionality.
What to Expect During the Bone Grafting Procedure?
The bone grafting procedure begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your options and address any concerns you may have. An incision is made in the gums to access the treatment area, and the bone graft material is carefully placed. To promote optimal healing and integration, a bone growth factor may be applied. Over time, the new bone material will fuse with your existing jawbone, providing a solid foundation for future dental treatments.Once the bone has healed and fused with its surrounding area, we will schedule you to come in for an implant or to have a new denture made. Bone grafting surgeries are easy, quick and help to improve the look of your smile.
