/ Services / Bone Grafting
Jawbone deteriorates over time after one or multiple teeth go missing. If that happens, then you may need a dental bone graft to maximize your implant or full arch replacement’s success.
At Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, we offer comprehensive bone grafting services to support and enhance your dental health.
Whether you need a bone graft to prepare for dental implants or to address bone loss due to periodontal disease, our oral surgeons and team provide expert care in a comfortable and compassionate environment.
Bone grafting is a procedure that adds bone or bone-like materials to the jaw to augment areas where bone density is insufficient.
This is often necessary for patients who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, or trauma.
Bone grafting can create a solid foundation for dental implants and restore the structural integrity of the jaw, increasing the success of the implant or full arch replacement.
Bone grafting is essential for several reasons.
First, it prepares the jaw for dental implants by ensuring sufficient bone density, which is crucial for the successful placement and stability of the implants.
Second, bone grafting helps preserve the natural shape and density of the jawbone, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with bone loss.
Lastly, enhancing bone density provides better support for remaining natural teeth, reducing the risk of further tooth loss and oral health issues.
Bone grafting is a vital procedure for many patients, but not everyone requires it. Understanding who is a good candidate for bone grafting can help you determine if this treatment is right for you.
Patients preparing for dental implants or full arch restoration may need bone grafts to create a stable foundation for the implants, essential for long-term success and stability.
Individuals with bone loss from periodontal disease benefit from bone grafting as it can restore the lost bone, improving oral health and providing better support for remaining teeth.
Those with bone loss due to trauma or infection, which compromises the structure and function of the jaw, can have these defects repaired and the natural contours of the jaw restored through bone grafting.
Patients with developmental bone deficiencies affecting the jaw’s structure also benefit from bone grafting, which addresses these issues and creates a more functional and aesthetically pleasing jawline.
Additionally, people considering dentures or other restorative treatments require adequate bone structure to support these appliances, and bone grafting can enhance their fit and function.
During your consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including dental imaging and a review of your medical history, to determine if you are a suitable candidate for bone grafting.
Factors such as overall health, oral hygiene habits, and specific dental needs will be considered to ensure the best possible outcome.
