A Bone Graft is a procedure that can rebuild and restore the integrity of your tooth socket before a denture or implant is placed. This treatment is especially beneficial for patients who have experienced bone loss in their jaw due to tooth loss or periodontal disease.
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding bone may begin to deteriorate over time. This can result in a loss of bone volume and density, making it difficult to support a denture or implant. A bone graft involves the placement of bone grafting material into the affected area to stimulate the growth of new bone.
During the procedure, the dental surgeon will make a small incision in your gum tissue to access the bone. The bone grafting material, which may include synthetic materials, donor bone, or your own bone, is carefully placed into the socket. Over time, the body will naturally integrate the grafting material, promoting the growth of new bone cells.
Once the graft has fully healed, usually in several months, the jawbone will be strong enough to support a denture or implant. This significantly improves the stability and success rate of your dental restoration, ensuring a long-lasting and functional solution for replacing missing teeth.
