What is Bone Grafting?
The quality or amount of bone needed for an implant may decline when a tooth is lost. Your dentist can restore or replace lost bone by extracting a piece from another area. In addition to allowing us to replace missing bone, bone grafting also encourages the formation of new bone.
How Does It Work?
Either a tissue bank of your own bones, such as the jaw, hip, and sinus, or the area below the knee is used to get bone. As an alternative, your surgeon might advise using the donor's bone. The jaw is then repaired with the help of this bone. Restorative dentistry can be performed once the bone structure has been rebuilt.
Jaw Bone Health
Maintaining your overall health and facial shape.
Due to lack of use, missing one or more teeth can cause the jawbone to deteriorate. Because the body thinks it is no longer necessary, the jaw bone starts to degenerate. Where the tooth formerly was, this may cause more problems.
Socket Preservation
After an extraction, preserve your jawbone.
When a tooth is extracted because of an infection or trauma, the socket may also be harmed, which could result in jaw abnormalities. This may cause the gums and bones in the area to shrink or recede, which may cause flaws or even the collapse of your cheeks or lips.
The best way to avoid these problems is through socket preservation. With this procedure, our professionals can insert bone or a replacement into the socket. The gum is then covered with a synthetic membrane or proteins that stimulate tissue growth in order to encourage the socket's own repair process. In turn, this avoids any kind of collapse or contraction.
Ridge Augmentation
The alveolar ridge is the bone that surrounds the roots of your teeth. Sometimes, after a tooth extraction, the empty socket heals and fills with bone and tissue. It will degenerate if the socket fails, which is not a major medical concern. Dental implants, however, require the socket's height and width to be in place. A ridge augmentation is applied in this situation.
A ridge augmentation involves placing bone graft material in the tooth socket and covering it with gum tissue. Your periodontist might occasionally use a space-maintaining product to help make room for bone growth.
Sinus Augmentation
Ensuring that the upper jaw has an adequate, healthy bone.
Your knowledgeable dentists create a tiny breach in the bone during a sinus augmentation procedure and push up the membrane lining. Following the placement of grafting material, the incision is stitched.
Your bone joins the jaw after the healing process, which might take several months. Due to the stable sinus bone, restorative care like dental implants can now be placed.
