The most common reason for needing bone grafting is because you have areas of bone loss around your teeth and jaw. Gum disease is an incredibly common condition that can cause bone loss over time. Likewise, having teeth removed can eventually have an impact on the bone underneath. If you’re planning to get implants or wear a denture, you’ll need a bone graft to ensure proper support.
To determine if you might need bone grafting in New Holland done, we will conduct both an exam and take x-rays. The x-rays can help alert us if there are areas of bone loss around the teeth and jaw and if so, the best way to go about placing the new bone material. We will work with you to determine the best approach for placing the bone and performing the procedure in our office.
The first step is to consult with you and determine what type of bone material is right for your needs. We will then administer a sedative of your choice and make an incision through the gums. We place the bone material and apply a bone growth factor to help it integrate smoothly with the surrounding bone. Once the bone has healed and fused with its surrounding area, we will schedule you to come in for an implant or to have a new denture made. Bone grafting surgeries are easy, quick and help to improve the look of your smile.
