Bone Grafting Helps Healing

Bone grafting for dental procedures is a common and highly effective treatment. It plays a crucial role in regenerating bone, preparing your mouth for future procedures like dental implants, and ensuring long-term oral health. Typically, your oral surgeon will discuss bone graft options with you during a tooth extraction, as this is the most convenient time to perform the procedure while the gum is already open.

Bone Graft Creates a Foundation

A bone graft involves inserting specialized tissue into your jawbone to stimulate new bone growth. This procedure is often necessary when bone has been lost due to infection or injury. Achieving sufficient bone density is vital for successful dental implant procedures, and a bone graft provides an excellent solution to build up that foundational bone.
Many dentists recommend a bone graft for patients considering dental implants. It’s a reliable way to ensure your dental implant will integrate securely and remain stable in your jawbone for years to come.

Understanding How Bone Grafts Work

Bone grafts, when placed into your jawbone, encourage your natural bone to grow and regenerate. This process may take a few months, but it significantly improves your overall bone density through natural bone regeneration.

Bone graft materials are sourced from three safe and effective options: human donors, animal products, or synthetic bone products. Your dentist procures these materials from accredited donor banks or specialized labs.
