BONE GRAFTING

Bone grafting is a standard dental procedure used to rebuild and strengthen the bone in the jaw. It is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of bone or bone-like materials into the jaw to stimulate bone growth. This procedure is often used to prepare the jaw for dental implants or to repair damage caused by trauma, gum disease, or other conditions. Ironwood Dental Care offers bone grafting services in Queen Creek, AZ, to help our patients achieve a healthy and strong smile.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure involving placing bone or bone-like materials into the jawbone. This material stimulates bone growth and rebuilds the bone in the jaw. Bone grafting is often used to prepare the jaw for dental implants, but it can also be used to repair damage caused by trauma, gum disease, or other conditions.

Why is Bone Grafting Necessary?

Bone grafting is necessary when the insufficient bone in the jaw supports a dental implant. Dental implants require a solid and healthy jawbone to keep them. If there is not enough bone, the implant may fail or not be able to be placed at all. Bone grafting can also be used to repair damage caused by gum disease, trauma, or other conditions that have caused the bone in the jaw to deteriorate.

The Bone Grafting Procedure

The bone grafting procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area where the bone graft will be placed. Depending on the type of bone graft, a small incision may be made in the gum tissue to access the jawbone. The bone graft material is then placed into the jawbone and secured with special screws or pins. The gum tissue is then sutured closed, and the patient is given instructions for post-operative care.

Recovery

After the bone grafting procedure, patients may need to take pain medication for a few days to manage discomfort. Patients must also avoid eating hard or chewy foods for several days after the procedure. It typically takes several months for the bone graft to heal fully and for new bone to grow. Patients will need to be careful not to put too much pressure on the jawbone and may need to avoid certain foods or activities.
