What Is Dental Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure to repair or replace lost teeth by replacing missing jawbone tissue with an artificial material such as cadaver bone, synthetic fabric, or donor tissue. It helps preserve the structure of your mouth and face by providing additional structural stability for teeth replacements like bridges or implants. This will allow you to enjoy improved aesthetics and better chewing ability regarding replacement teeth.
The Process Of Dental Bone Grafting
When performing dental bone grafts at Park View Family Dental, our team takes great care during each step of the process:
First, we will analyze your current x-rays and other diagnostic tests to determine if enough existing jawbone structure is suitable for implant placement or if a supplemental source of tissue is needed for optimal results. If necessary, a small incision is made on either side of the gums, where more space needs to be created to accommodate new graft material.
Once all soft & hard tissue reconstruction is completed allowing osseointegration abutment & final prosthetic restoration, the selection is performed, cut down the final design & custom fit fabricated laboratory technician using CAD/CAM technology is done. The postoperative period may involve some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and proper homecare instructions.
Benefits Of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting can help repair fractures, trauma, and defects in the bone structure caused by disease or injury.
It may be used to reconstruct bones after tumors have been removed and for cosmetic purposes such as facial reconstruction following massive weight loss or traumatic injury.
Bone grafts add stability to areas with a weakened bone structure, helping prevent future damage and improving the overall strength of the treated area.
Grafted bones can also provide additional support during healing when arthritic joints undergo fusion surgery (which requires joining two bones together).
Healthy donor tissue helps accelerate healing times and improves outcomes of many surgeries involving bone grafts, such as spine fusions, joint replacements, and plastic surgery procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
The bone will heal, but it will do so in its way, which could result in the walls that used to support that tooth collapsing, causing you to lose bone height and breadth. You are less likely to be a suitable candidate for an implant as more bone is lost.
