Reconstructing the Jaw

Insights into Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure designed to enhance bone density in jaw areas diminished by tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. This technique is crucial for establishing a solid base for dental implants and enhancing both the appearance and functionality of the jawbone.

How Does the Bone Grafting Process Work?

Typically, bone grafting is done with local anesthesia. The dentist creates an incision to reach the jawbone and meticulously places the bone graft material in regions lacking sufficient bone. This material may be sourced from your body, a donor, or it might be a synthetic option. Afterward, the incision is stitched closed.

Essential Support for Your Smile

What Issues Can Bone Grafting Resolve?

Bone grafting can tackle numerous dental issues, such as:

  • Dental Implant Foundation: Provides a robust foundation for dental implants when the jawbone is lacking.
  • Tooth Loss: Rebuilds bone lost due to missing teeth, helping to prevent further jawbone loss.
