Bone grafting is a critical procedure that helps rebuild the jawbone in preparation for dental implants or other restorative treatments. Dr. Akshay Dhall provides expert bone grafting procedures to ensure patients have the necessary bone support for successful dental restorations. Our skilled team is committed to delivering personalized care and excellent results for patients requiring this essential procedure.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that restores lost or damaged bone tissue in the jaw. Bone loss can occur due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, injury or age. Without sufficient bone, certain dental treatments, such as implants, may not be possible. Bone grafting helps rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, providing the support needed for a strong and stable foundation for dental restorations.
The bone grafting process typically involves:
- Assessment and Planning: Our dentist and team will evaluate your oral health and determine the best approach for the graft.
- Bone Grafting Material: Bone grafting material, which can be sourced from your own body, a donor or synthetic materials, is placed in the area where bone is deficient.
- Healing and Integration: Over time, the grafted bone integrates with your existing jawbone, creating a stronger, more solid foundation for future dental work, such as implants.
This procedure is essential for patients who have experienced significant bone loss but wish to undergo restorative treatments that require stable bone support.
ÂWhy Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
Bone grafting offers a variety of benefits, making it an important procedure for many patients:
- Supporting Dental Implants: Bone grafting creates the necessary foundation for implants by restoring bone mass and density.
- Restoring Facial Structure: Loss of bone can affect facial structure, leading to changes in appearance. Bone grafting helps maintain your natural facial shape.
- Preventing Further Bone Loss: By rebuilding the bone, grafting helps prevent additional bone loss and supports the overall structure of your jaw.
- Improving Oral Health: Bone grafting restores jaw health, allowing for more successful outcomes in future restorative procedures.
