Bone Grafting
Preserving your bone after the tooth extraction
Why do You need Bone Grafting after the tooth extraction?
The majority of bone loss after tooth extraction occurs in both a horizontal and vertical dimension. There is a 25% decrease in horizontal bone volume during the first year and a 40% to 60% decrease within the first three years after tooth loss.
Adding a bone (grafting) into the extraction site can greatly improve the aesthetics and function of crowns, implants, and dentures, as well as eliminate future problems that are common to bone loss situations.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure performed to replace the bone loss in the jaw that anchors teeth using one or more different bone grafting options.
If your jawbone isn't thick enough or is too soft, you may need bone grafting before you can have dental implant surgery. That's because the powerful chewing action of your mouth exerts great pressure on your bone, and if it can't support the implant, the surgery likely would fail. A bone graft can create a more solid base for the implant.
There are several bone graft materials that can be used to rebuild a jawbone. Options may include a natural bone graft, such as from your own blood or another location in your body, or a synthetic bone graft, such as bone-substitute material that can provide support structures for new bone growth.
It may take several months for the transplanted bone to grow enough new bone to support a dental implant. Once the bone graft integrates with your own bone, you are ready to get a dental implant.
