Unlocking the Benefits of Bone Grafting in Plantation, FL
Why Bone Grafting May Be Necessary
Bone grafting is a crucial procedure in dentistry, often necessary for patients seeking dental implants or other restorative treatments. But why might bone grafting be required? One common reason is to address bone loss or deterioration in the jaw, which can occur due to factors such as periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. Without sufficient bone density and volume, dental implants may not be able to integrate properly with the jawbone, compromising their stability and longevity. Bone grafting helps restore bone density and volume, providing a solid foundation for successful implant placement.
What Happens During Bone Grafting?
During a bone grafting procedure, the dentist begins by numbing the treatment area to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the process. Next, the dentist makes a small incision in the gums to access the area of bone loss. Depending on the extent of bone loss and the specific needs of the patient, the dentist may use bone graft material from various sources, such as the patient’s own bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials. The graft material is placed in the area of bone loss and secured in place. Over time, the graft material stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting the growth of new bone tissue. Once the graft has integrated with the existing bone, the area is ready for dental implant placement or other restorative treatments.
