Outstanding dentists with a welcoming staff. This team provides the most advanced technology when caring for their patients teeth and they do so in a most comfortable environment. I am also grateful to Julia for her helpful advice regarding my parent’s sleep apnea.
Open Up Many Possibilities for Your Smile With a Bone Graft
A bone graft is a type of oral surgery that strengthens your jaw for dental implants by using a special bone grafting material or donor tissue. Missing teeth are often the cause of bone loss because your jaw begins to deteriorate around the holes left by your missing tooth roots. Your jawbone can also be naturally thin or gradually lose its density with age. Bone grafting reverses this deterioration, giving your jaw a thick, sturdy foundation for treatments like implants.
Once your jaw has healed from your bone graft procedure, we can recommend a variety of implant options:
- If you have one or multiple adjacent missing teeth, we can restore implants with a dental crown or dental bridge.
- Of if you’ve lost many or most of your teeth, our dentists can use a bone graft to prepare you for a full-mouth reconstruction using implant-secured dentures or All-on-4® dental implants.
If you feel nervous about your bone graft procedure or simply don’t want to feel anything during your appointment, we can keep you relaxed with dental sedation. With IV sedation, you will probably doze off and remember little to nothing about the procedure.
