What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone material to areas of the jaw where bone density has been lost. Bone loss can occur for several reasons, including tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. When the jawbone deteriorates, it can weaken the foundation needed for dental implants or cause changes in facial appearance. A bone graft helps to regenerate lost bone, ensuring there is enough support for future dental procedures, such as implants.
Bone grafting uses either natural or synthetic materials to stimulate new bone growth, and over time, your body will naturally absorb and replace the graft with your own bone.
Why Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
Bone grafting is often necessary for patients who are planning to receive dental implants but do not have sufficient bone density in their jaw to support the implant. Without enough bone, implants cannot be securely anchored in place, which can affect the success of the procedure. Bone grafting can also be used to:
- Preserve the bone after tooth extraction: When a tooth is extracted, bone loss can occur in the area around the extraction site. A bone graft can be placed immediately after the extraction to prevent bone loss and maintain the shape of the jaw.
- Support facial structure: Bone loss in the jaw can cause a sunken appearance in the face. Bone grafting helps to rebuild the jawbone, restoring a more youthful and natural facial structure.
- Prepare for dentures: Patients who are planning to wear dentures may need a bone graft to ensure the jaw can support the dentures and prevent further bone loss over time.
When Is Bone Grafting Required for Dental Implants?
Not every patient who receives dental implants will need a bone graft. However, if you’ve experienced bone loss due to gum disease, tooth loss, or trauma, a bone graft may be necessary to ensure the long-term success of your implants. Without enough bone, implants may not fuse properly with the jawbone, which can lead to failure of the implant.
Bone grafting helps create a solid foundation for the implant, ensuring that it remains secure and functional for many years to come.
