Dental Bone Grafting

Restoring Jawbone Health and Function

In modern dentistry, bone grafting is an essential treatment, particularly for patients whose jawbones have deteriorated due to trauma, gum disease, or tooth loss. Our skilled periodontist at Plano Top Dental uses cutting-edge technologies, the best bone graft materials, and surgical techniques to restore the density and volume of your jawbone and lay a solid basis for upcoming dental implant restorations. This treatment restores lost bone mass, enabling your native bone to develop and integrate with the grafting material.

The Process
 of Bone Grafting

1

Anesthesia

A local anesthetic will numb your gums to ensure your comfort. Sedation solutions are provided to help you relax if necessary.

2

Incision

A small incision in the gum tissue reveals the underlying bone.

3

Bone Graft Placement

The grafting material is carefully inserted into the region of bone loss. It can come from your own body (autogenous), a donor (allograft), an animal source (xenograft), or synthetic materials (alloplast). Your doctor will help you to choose the best one for your needs.

4

Membrane Placement

A protective membrane may be positioned over the transplanted bone graft to promote healing.

5

Suturing

After realigning the gum tissue, it is closed with stitches.

6

Healing

The bone transplant may take a few months to properly integrate with your bone, although initial healing usually takes approximately a few weeks.

When Is a Bone Graft Needed?

The jawbone is a dynamic structure whose density and volume are maintained by stimulation from natural teeth. The absence of stimulation following tooth/teeth loss can cause bone resorption, a condition in which the bone slowly weakens. Other reasons to lose the jawbone include infections, periodontal disease, and trauma. This may change your face shape, impair the stability of nearby teeth, and make it impossible to get dental implants. Bone graft procedure aims to repair/rebuild the jaw bone, keeps your jaw healthy, and can sustain dental restorations. There are many common indications for bone grafting, including:

Tooth extractions:This treatment can preserve the bone left at the location of the extracted tooth.

Incision: A small incision in the gum tissue reveals the underlying bone

Dental Implants: Dental implants must be placed in a robust, thick jawbone. Bone grafting gives the implant the stability it needs.

Gum Disease: Gum disease can cause severe bone loss. Bone grafting aids in stabilizing teeth and restoring missing bone.

Trauma: Bone loss resulting from jaw injuries can be restored by bone grafting.

Sinus Lift: To provide space for dental implants in the upper posterior jaw, bone grafting may be utilized in some situations to elevate the maxillary sinus base.

What to Expect After Treatment?

It’s common to have some soreness, bruising, and swelling after your bone grafting treatment. Usually, these symptoms go away after a week. Observe these postoperative care recommendations to guarantee a speedy recovery and effective bone regeneration:

Medication: Adhere to the recommended dosage schedule for any antibiotics and painkillers.

Diet: For the first several days, limit your diet to soft foods to prevent pressure on the graft site.

Oral hygiene: As your specialist directs, rinse the surgery site gently. This will help to keep it clean.

Steer clear of Smoking: Smoking raises the chance of graft failure and can seriously hinder recovery. It is essential to abstain from smoking while in the healing phase.

Rescheduled Appointments: Regular follow-up visits with the specialist are crucial to monitor healing progress and ensure optimal integration of the bone graft.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Dental Bone Grafting

Advantages

  • li-iconEnhanced Implant Success:Bone grafting gives dental implants a strong foundation, raising the chances of long-term success.
  • li-iconRestored Jawbone Structure:Bone grafting can improve aesthetics by supporting natural facial contours and preventing the collapse of facial features due to bone loss.
  • li-iconBetter Oral Health: Bone grafting prevents further bone loss and maintains the integrity of neighboring teeth and supporting structures.

Disadvantages

  • li-iconInfectionFollowing post-op care guidelines can help reduce the risk of infection, which is a possibility with every surgical procedure.
  • li-iconGraft Failure: Although uncommon, graft failure can happen, particularly in smokers or those with specific medical issues.

Long-Range Prospects
Following your specialist’s recommendations and practicing primary oral care, a successful dental bone graft can last a lifetime. However, to prevent the graft from resorbing if it is positioned before a dental implant, the implant must be placed within the suggested time range (often 3 to 10 months).

When to Make a Dental Appointment

Contact our specialists immediately if you encounter any odd symptoms, such as increasing swelling, severe pain, or infection-related symptoms like fever or pus leakage. Early management may ensure a smooth recovery and avoid difficulties.
