Understanding Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone or a bone substitute to areas where bone loss has occurred. This procedure is commonly used to:
Prepare for Dental Implants Adequate bone volume and density are essential for successful dental implant placement. Bone grafting can augment areas with insufficient bone to support implants.
Restore Jawbone Structure Bone loss can occur due to tooth extractions, gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting can restore the jawbone's shape and density.
Enhance Aesthetic Results Bone grafting can improve the appearance of the jawline and facial contours, particularly in cases of significant bone loss.
The Bone Grafting Process
At Highland Hills Dental Centre, we follow a comprehensive approach to bone grafting procedures:
Evaluation We assess your oral health, taking X-rays or 3D scans to determine the extent of bone loss and the best approach for grafting.
Graft Material Depending on your needs, we use either your own bone, donor bone, synthetic bone material, or a combination.
Graft Placement The graft material is carefully placed in the targeted area, promoting new bone growth over time.
Healing and Integration Over the coming months, your body will naturally integrate the graft material with your existing bone, creating a strong foundation.
Follow-up We monitor your healing progress through follow-up appointments to ensure proper integration and successful outcomes.
