BONE GRAFTING

MAJOR & MINOR BONE GRAFTING

Missing teeth over a period of time can cause your jaw bone to atrophy, or to reabsorb. This often results in poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for the placement of dental implants. Long term shifting of remaining teeth and changes to facial structure are also a concern. Most patients, in these situations, are not candidates for dental implants.

Fortunately, today we have the ability to grow bone where it is needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.

MAJOR BONE GRAFTING

Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. In addition, special membranes may be utilized that dissolve under the gum to protect the bone graft, as well as encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration, or guided tissue regeneration.
