Bone Grafting

What happens when you don’t have sufficient bone tissue to support dental implants? Bone grafting is the technique required to add a sufficient amount of healthy natural bone capable of supporting the dental implants. A deficiency of natural bone tissue can be caused by gum disease, facial trauma, developmental defects and empty spaces left behind when teeth are lost. When teeth are lost, bone tissue that once supported them recognizes that it is no longer needed and shrinks.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to repair or rebuild bones by transplanting bone tissue.
Bone grafting may be necessary to allow correct and stable placement of a dental implant, even if you request a dental implant the day after you lose a tooth. The empty socket could be infected, or the lost tooth could be the wrong size to support an immediate replacement.

Bone loss occurs every day that your tooth is missing. Dental implants rely on osseointegration – the process of bone regenerating to support the implant – in order to work. The dental implant should bond with the jawbone to create a stable foundation for a new crown. Without sufficient bone to work with, placing a stable dental implant becomes impossible.
