Bone grafting is a standard dental procedure to restore jaw bone loss due to gum disease, tooth loss, or trauma. At Powers Dental Group, we offer bone grafting services to help our patients achieve healthy and functional smiles. Our experienced and skilled dental professionals use the latest techniques and technology to ensure optimal results and a comfortable experience.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that involves adding bone tissue to areas of the jaw that have been damaged or lost. This prepares the jaw for dental and supports the surrounding teeth. Bone grafting is a procedure that involves adding bone tissue to areas of the body or a donor source and placed in the affected area. The new bone tissue fuses with the existing bone, providing added support and stability.

Why Might I Need Bone Grafting?

There are several reasons why a patient may need bone grafting. Some of the most common causes include:

  1. Tooth Loss: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it may begin to deteriorate over time. This can make replacing the tooth with a dental implant difficult, as there may not be enough bone to support it. Bone grafting can help rebuild the bone tissue, making it possible to place an implant.
  2. Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause the bone tissue in the jaw to deteriorate. Bone grafting can help restore lost bone tissue and prevent further damage.
  3. Trauma: Trauma to the jawbone can cause fractures or breaks, which may require bone grafting to heal correctly.
  4. Congenital Defects: Some individuals may be born with genetic disabilities that affect jawbone development. Bone grafting can help correct these defects and improve oral health and function.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

The bone grafting procedure takes place in two stages. During the first stage, the bone tissue is harvested from another part of the body or a donor source. This tissue is prepared and placed in the affected area of the jaw. The graft is covered with a membrane and sutured in place.

After the graft has been placed, the patient must allow time for the bone tissue to fuse with the existing bone. This process can take several months, and the patient may need to wear a temporary dental appliance to protect the graft and aid in healing.

During the procedure’s second stage, the dental implant or other restoration can be placed. This typically occurs after the bone graft fully integrates with the existing bone.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting offers several benefits to patients, including:

  1. Improved Oral Health: By restoring bone tissue in the jaw, bone grafting can help improve oral health and function.
  2. Better Esthetics: Bone grafting can also help improve the smile’s appearance, supporting dental restorations.
  3. Increased Comfort: Bone grafting can help prevent discomfort or pain caused by missing or damaged bone tissue in the jaw.
  4. Improved Quality of Life: By restoring oral health and function, bone grafting can help improve a patient’s overall quality of life.
