DENTAL BONE GRAFTING IN CASTLE HILL

Let Our Bone Grafting Services Give You the Smile You Deserve.

Regain Your Smile with Bone Replacement Grafting

Bone replacement grafting, also known as dental bone grafting, is a dental procedure that involves the transplantation of bone tissue to repair or rebuild bones that have been damaged due to injury or disease. In dentistry, bone grafting is commonly used to build up the jawbone in preparation for dental implants or to support and anchor teeth. The procedure can help improve the function and aesthetics of your smile by providing a strong and stable foundation for your teeth. At our clinic, we offer bone replacement grafting services using the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible results for our patients.

Are You a Candidate for a Bone Grafting Procedure?

Bone grafting is a dental technique that’s generally required for patients who don’t have sufficient healthy natural bone that’s capable of supporting dental implants. This natural bone deficiency is often the result of the following:

What to Expect Before, During, and After Bone Grafting Procedure

The bone graft serves as a framework for new bone growth, which eventually replaces the graft tissue with healthy, new bone. The graft may be secured with screws, pins, or other hardware to hold it in place during the healing process. The bone grafting procedure typically involves the following steps:

Suturing

The incision is closed with sutures, and the patient is given instructions for aftercare and follow-up appointments.

After the bone grafting procedure, the patient will need to follow a strict aftercare routine to promote healing and prevent complications. This may include taking pain medications, antibiotics, and other medications as prescribed, avoiding strenuous physical activity, and following a special diet to promote bone growth. The patient will also need to attend follow-up appointments to monitor their progress and ensure proper healing.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implant Success

Dental bone grafting is important for dental implants because it helps to create a solid foundation for the implant to be placed. When a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone can start to deteriorate or shrink over time, leaving insufficient bone to support an implant. Bone grafting allows the dentist to regenerate or rebuild the jawbone, providing the necessary support for the implant. Without enough bone to support the implant, it may not be able to integrate with the jawbone properly and may fail. Therefore, bone grafting is a crucial step in the dental implant process.

Bone grafting is a straightforward procedure that is performed in-office and is usually completed in 90 minutes or less. The patient is first numbed with local anesthetic (sedation options are also available) and a small incision is made in the gums. The graft is then placed and sealed to the desired area before stitches are placed.

Bone material has traditionally been collected from other areas of the patient’s body. However, in recent years, more effective and less invasive options have emerged. The material can be synthetically made, donated from cadavers, or come from other animals such as cows.

Though recovery time will depend somewhat on your specific situation, most people can expect to feel completely back to normal after a week or two. Patients often experience some discomfort or soreness in the days following the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Bone graft dentistry can be helpful for anyone with bone loss in the jaw or mouth. If you’ve lost a tooth, the jaw bone becomes weaker each passing day, and a bone graft can ensure that your jaw is supportive enough to handle a dental implant.
