What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone loss can have a negative impact on your overall dental health. If you have a weakened jaw due to missing teeth or physical trauma, you may require bone grafting so the jaw can securely fit both your natural teeth and dental implants. Bone grafting helps to strengthen your jaw, so it's stable enough to hold a dental implant. Bone grafting is often performed at Advantage Dentists and Orthodontics to strengthen your jaw prior to performing procedures to replace missing or weak teeth. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Sula Umansky at her modern office in Atascocita, TX to get more information on bone grafting.
How Is Bone Grafting Performed?
The exact process of your bone graft procedure will vary based on where the graft comes from and the amount of grafting needed. The donor bone may be removed from your own body in areas like the hip, chin, or shin. This may be done in our office with local anesthesia and sedation or in a surgical facility using general anesthesia. When the bone graft is ready, the needed areas will be prepared, and an incision will be placed in the gum tissue to reach the bone. The graft will be attached to your bone, along with proteins and collagen that stimulate growth in the graft. The gums will be closed with sutures, and the area will be cleaned.
