Achieve A More Beautiful Smile With Improved Bone Health
Bone Grafts Can Protect Your Smile And Help Prepare You Dental Implants
Tooth loss is more common than you think. More than 30 million of us are missing all of our teeth in at least one jaw (AAID). If you are suffering from tooth loss, you may be considering whether to get dentures or dental implant placement. Dental implants are generally recommended over dentures because they offer numerous advantages of health, comfort, and appearance, such as:
- Permanent tooth restoration designed to last a lifetime
- Bone preservation properties
- Natural look and feel
- Restoration of the ability to chew and speak properly
- Faster recovery thanks to precision
We Offer Several Options to Restore and Protect Bone
Bone augmentation can be incorporated into procedures, such as extraction or dental implant placement, to improve your long-term results. Our bone grafting dentist, provides several methods to enhance your bone health:
- Bone Grafting
- Sinus lift
- Ridge augmentation
- Ridge preservation
- Grafting restores healthy bone volume by transferring bone from one area of the mouth, usually the chin, to another.
- If sufficient bone is not available for collection, our bone grafting dentist can obtain donor materials from an alternate source, such as a bone bank.
- Bone grafting is commonly performed before dental implant placement.
- A sinus lift is performed to raise the sinus membrane when it has fallen or sagged because of a loss of bone in the upper molar area.
- Bone grafting in the upper molar area will also be necessary to maintain the healthy positioning of the membrane.
- This procedure may be performed in preparation of a dental implant procedure.
- Ridge augmentation is performed to correct the deterioration of bone that occurs after tooth loss.
- Grafting material is placed at the socket to rebuild any indentations or deficiencies in the gum line.
- Soft tissue grafts may be performed to enhance the appearance of the gums.
- Ridge preservation is performed by our bone grafting dentist to preserve bone volume after extraction or tooth loss.
- This procedure can prepare your mouth for future implant placement by preventing the deterioration of bone that occurs after tooth loss.
