Bone Grafting
Rebuild Bone. Restore Strength. Support Your Smile.
At Dental Implants of Massapequa, we understand how critical jawbone health is to your smile. Bone loss in the jaw can threaten the stability of your teeth and the success of future dental implants. Bone grafting is a safe and effective way to regenerate bone lost to either disease or injury, thereby giving added support for any impending dental or functional work.
At Dental Implants of Massapequa, we use advanced materials, including:
- Autograft – Bone from your own body
- Allograft – Donor bone
- Alloplast – Synthetic bone substitutes
The chosen grafting method depends on your specific dental needs and treatment goals.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical process used to replace or stimulate bone that has been lost through periodontal disease, trauma, infection, or even tooth loss. Bone material is added to the site during the procedure, allowing for the regeneration of new bone to prepare the jaw either for implants or other restorative processes.
Depending on aspects of your case and plan of treatment, the graft may be from the bone inside your very own body (autograft), from donor bone (allograft), or synthetic materials (alloplast).
Why Bone Grafting May Be Necessary
- Supporting Dental Implants: For implants to get a good hold of the jawbone, they need to be sufficiently strong. Bone grafting ensures there is sufficient density and volume for its successful placement.
- Preventing Jaw Weakening: After a tooth is lost in that region, the bone starts to resorb. The graft helps in retaining the profile and brings about the prevention of a “sunken” look.
- Aesthetic Gum Treatment with Bone Grafting: Advanced periodontal disease can destroy the bone. These grafting techniques are used to restore the bone when damaged and to create a favorable environment for stabilizing teeth.
- Ensure Better Long-Term Oral Health: The stronger the jaw, the better teeth and restorations it will support, and the longer they will last.
Bone Grafting Procedures at Dental Implants of Massapequa
For non-surgical kinds of treatment, the whole gamut of treatments available aims at cleaning, disinfecting, and maintaining healthy gums. Every step is carried out with precision, comfort, and proper long-term outcomes in consideration.
- Socket Preservation: Placing bone graft material inside the socket immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
- Ridge Augmentation: It restores the natural contour of the jaw and prepares it for implants or dentures.
- Sinus Lifting: It increases the bone height of the maxilla by lifting the sinus membrane and placing the bone graft material underneath.
- Periodontal Bone Grafts: Periodontal Bone Grafts are mainly used for the regeneration of bone lost as a result of periodontitis.
What to Expect During Bone Grafting
As a rule, a bone graft is performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. Then, after placing the graft material in the desired area, it is covered and left to heal. Over a few months, the graft actually unions with the patient’s natural bone to provide a strong and stable structure.
Most patients express either minimal or no discomfort, yet strict post-op instructions are given for an uncomplicated recovery.
