Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting
Dentist in Bradenton, FL
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to augment or regenerate bone tissue in the jaw. It involves transplanting bone graft material into areas of bone deficiency or resorption to promote new bone growth and increase bone density. This procedure is crucial for patients who have experienced bone loss due to factors such as tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma.
Benefits for the Patient:
- Enhanced Stability for Dental Implants: Bone grafting provides a solid foundation for dental implants by increasing bone volume and density in areas where the bone has deteriorated. This ensures the stability and longevity of dental implants, allowing patients to enjoy restored function and aesthetics.
- Preservation of Facial Structure: Bone loss in the jaw can lead to changes in facial appearance, such as sunken cheeks or a collapsed jawline. By restoring bone density through grafting procedures, patients can preserve their facial structure and maintain a youthful appearance.
- Improved Oral Health and Functionality: Bone grafting helps address oral health issues associated with bone loss, such as difficulty chewing, speaking, or maintaining proper oral hygiene. By rebuilding bone tissue, patients can regain normal oral function and enjoy improved overall health and quality of life.
- Increased Treatment Options: Bone grafting expands the treatment options available to patients, making it possible to successfully place dental implants even in cases of severe bone loss. This opens up opportunities for individuals who may have previously been deemed ineligible for implant treatment.
