Strengthen Your Jawbone
to Support Implants
Bone grafting is a dental procedure to restore lost bone tissue in the jaw, typically caused by tooth loss, periodontal disease, or injury. The procedure involves adding bone material to areas with insufficient bone mass to support dental implants. This can help rebuild the structure of the jaw and create a solid foundation for implants. The grafted bone can be sourced from the patient, a donor, or synthetic materials. Bone grafting improves the success of implants, enhances oral health, and restores both function and appearance.
Bone Grafting Helps With:
- Bone loss caused by missing teeth
- Insufficient bone volume for dental implants
- Jawbone deterioration due to periodontal disease
- Bone damage from trauma or injury
- Bone shrinkage after tooth extraction
- Decreased jawbone density from aging
What Is the Bone Grafting Process?
The bone grafting process begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Matian evaluates your oral health and curates a treatment plan. During the procedure, Dr. Matian will make a small incision in your gum to access the area needing grafting. Bone material, sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic options, is then placed into the affected area. Afterward, your gum is closed, and the grafted bone will heal and integrate with your natural bone over time.
Benefits of Bone Grafting:
- Provides a stable foundation for dental implants
- Restores lost jawbone structure and density
- Enhances the aesthetic appearance of the smile
- Improves oral function and bite stability
- Reduces the risk of implant failure
- Prevents further bone loss in the jaw
- Promotes natural healing and bone regeneration
- Customizable to fit individual patient needs
How Long Does the Bone Grafting Procedure Take?
The length of the bone grafting procedure can vary depending on the extent of bone loss and the type of graft used. Typically, it takes 1 to 2 hours. Dr. Matian will assess your condition during the consultation to provide a more accurate estimate. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, but this should subside within a few days.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Bone Grafting?
Recovery times can vary based on the complexity of the procedure and your body’s healing ability. Generally, the initial healing phase takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. However, full integration of the graft with your jawbone can take several months, typically around 3 to 6 months.
