Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore lost bone in the jaw, often necessary for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. At Airlie Oral Surgery, we use advanced techniques to add bone material, stimulating new bone growth to ensure a strong foundation for dental implants or other restorative procedures. Our team is dedicated to providing care that restores both function and aesthetics.
Bone grafting begins with a thorough evaluation of the jawbone to determine the extent of bone loss. During the procedure, a grafting material, which may be synthetic, donor-based, or your own bone, is placed in the affected area. Over time, this material integrates with the existing bone, stimulating new growth. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, and recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the graft.
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw, often in preparation for dental implants.
Bone grafting is necessary when the jawbone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury, making it insufficient for implants.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the surgery, though some discomfort may occur afterward.
Healing time varies, but it generally takes several months for the bone graft to integrate fully with the jawbone before proceeding with implants.
Without a bone graft, you may not be a suitable candidate for dental implants, and the jawbone may continue to deteriorate.
