Dental Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a specialized procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw. It provides a strong foundation for dental implants and can enhance your overall oral health.  

Bone grafting can be beneficial for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth extractions, periodontal disease, or natural aging. At Precision Oral Surgery, we specialize in bone grafting, ensuring you receive expert and comfortable care throughout the process. 

Why Is Bone Grafting Important? 

When your jawbone deteriorates, it not only affects your oral health, but can impact your ability to get dental work done in the future. Without sufficient bone density, dental implants may not securely bond to the jaw.  

Bone grafting restores the jaw’s structure by creating a stable base to support dental implants. This also helps to improve your facial structure. While it helps to prevent further bone loss, it also helps to preserve the longevity and functionality of your smile.  

Types of Dental Bone Grafts & Benefits 

There are several types of bone grafting materials and methods that cater to different needs. Here’s a quick overview of the most common types: 

Autograft: This type of graft uses bone from your own body, often taken from the areas like the hip or jaw. Success rates for this graft are high because it uses your own tissue, supporting healing and recovery. 

Allograft: Allografts involve bone tissue from a donor or bone bank. This spares the need to use your own tissue and is also processed to be safe and effective for integration. 

Xenograft: Typically derived from bovine (cow) bone, xenografts are biocompatible and can provide the necessary structure to support new bone growth. 

Synthetic Grafts: Made from biocompatible materials, synthetic grafts mimic natural bone. They can effectively fill in gaps and serve as a stable base for new tissue to grow. 

Your surgeon will guide you through the process when it comes time to selecting the best option for your individual case. 

Procedure Overview 

Before the procedure, you’ll attend a consultation where your oral surgeon will discuss treatment details and address any questions you may have. A step-by-step plan will ensure you understand what to expect during each stage. 

Pre-Operative Preparation: We will perform X-rays or CT scans to evaluate the condition of your jawbone and create a custom treatment plan. 

Bone Grafting Procedure: Your oral surgeon will skillfully add the selected graft material to your jawbone, and you’ll soon be on your way to healing. 

Sedation and Anesthesia Options: To keep you as comfortable as possible, we offer a range of sedation options, including local anesthesia and IV sedation. 

Recovery Time: Most procedures are completed in a single visit, though recovery times can vary based on your individual case. 

Candidacy for Dental Bone Grafting 

Bone grafting may be an ideal solution if you’ve experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, injury, or tooth extraction. However, some factors can affect eligibility, such as certain medical conditions or smoking habits. 

Our team will assess your oral health, and if grafting isn’t the recommended treatment option, we can discuss other potential alternatives to help you reach your oral health goals.
