Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting
Dental implants can only be positioned if there is sufficient bone to attach the prosthetic tooth to. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting is an excellent way to add or âgrowâ bone so that an implant may be properly secured.
Why Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
When bone loss occurs, it can make it difficult to place dental implants or restore teeth effectively. Without enough bone, implants may fail or not be placed properly, compromising your overall oral health. Bone grafting ensures that your jaw regains the strength and volume it needs to support dental implants and maintain your smile.
How Does Bone Grafting Work?
The process involves taking bone material, which can be sourced from the patientâs own body, a donor, or synthetic materials, and placing it into areas with insufficient bone. Over time, the bone graft integrates with your natural bone, stimulating new bone growth. This procedure can take several months for full integration but ensures long-term stability and successful dental outcomes.
