Bone Grafting in Graham

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

Bone grafting is a vital procedure that can help restore the necessary bone structure in your jaw to support dental implants. If you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or other factors, bone grafting helps ensure that you have enough bone to support implant procedures, giving you a solid foundation for a long-lasting smile.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting involves adding bone material to your jawbone to promote growth in areas where bone density is insufficient. This can be due to bone loss after tooth extraction or other health issues. Bone grafting materials can come from various sources, including synthetic materials or bone harvested from other areas of your body.

How Does the Bone Grafting Process Work?

At Salt Creek Dental, we make sure you understand every step of the bone grafting process and are as comfortable as possible. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation: We will assess your jawbone health using X-rays or CT scans and determine if bone grafting is needed for your dental implants.
2. Procedure: During the procedure, we will place the grafting material into the affected area, allowing the bone to regenerate over time.
3. Healing: The healing process typically takes several months, allowing the graft to integrate with your existing bone, ensuring a solid foundation for your implants.
