Bone Grafting
At Akeso Oral Surgery, our skilled team is dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible oral health through advanced procedures like bone grafting. Bone loss can be a significant barrier to dental implants and a healthy smile, and we're here to provide the expert care you need.
Why Should I Get Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that is often necessary when there is insufficient jawbone density to support dental implants or to maintain the stability of existing teeth. Jawbone loss can occur due to a variety of factors, including missing teeth, gum disease, injury, or prolonged denture use. Without adequate bone volume, dental implants may fail, and the overall health and appearance of your smile can be compromised. Bone grafting helps to restore the strength and structure of your jawbone, creating a solid foundation for dental implants and promoting long-term oral health.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
Enable Dental Implant Placement
Bone grafting can restore jawbone density, making it possible to place dental implants in areas where bone loss has occurred. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of a sturdy, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
Preserve Facial Structure
Jawbone loss can lead to changes in facial structure, causing a sunken or aged appearance. Bone grafting helps to maintain the natural contours of your face, preserving your youthful appearance.
Protect Existing Teeth
Bone loss can weaken the support for existing teeth, leading to further tooth loss and oral health problems. Bone grafting can help to stabilize and protect your remaining teeth.
The Bone Grafting Treatment Process
Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Planning
Your bone grafting journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including advanced iCAT 3D imaging to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the most appropriate grafting technique for your unique needs.
Bone Grafting Procedure
Our skilled oral surgeons will perform the bone grafting procedure using the latest techniques and materials to ensure optimal results. This may involve using your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic bone substitutes.
Healing and Follow-Up Care
After the bone grafting procedure, our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. The healing process typically takes several months, during which time the grafted bone will integrate with your existing jawbone.
