Bone Grafting

Capture 12-Dr Kissel-Local Anesthetic
Considering dental implants or dealing with tooth loss? Understanding bone grafting is crucial. Often done with dental implants, it becomes necessary when there's not enough bone for support, due to past gum disease or tooth extraction. 
What is Bone Grafting
When a tooth is missing, the alveolar bone supporting tooth roots starts to shrink. This process, called "bone resorption," affects the jawbone's appearance and the bone underneath tooth roots. Despite dental implants promoting healthy bone, extensive bone loss may hinder implant anchoring. 
Why Tooth Loss Causes Bone Loss 
Bone grafts are common with implant therapy, addressing issues like severe periodontal disease or insufficient bone for implant placement. The procedure is usually painless and integrates into regular dental routines. Unsure about needing a bone graft? A thorough examination and X-ray will provide insights into your bone health. 
How Bone Grafts Work
Bone grafting enhances the jawbone for implant support or preserving natural teeth. This is common during surgeries like sinus lifts. Placing bone graft material alongside natural dental bone starts the integration process, encouraging the growth of new tissue. Materials may include transplanting healthy bone tissue, FDA-approved osseous powder, or synthetic dental bone. 
Ideal Candidates
Individuals with bone loss may need a bone graft before dental implant placement or tooth replacement. This is common after sinus lifts or aggressive bone loss from periodontal infections. Bone grafting opens options for those with insufficient jaw height for implants or denture-related issues.
