Bone grafts
In some situations, tooth loss can lead to bone loss. To help restore the health and structure of the jaw, we offer bone grafts to people who would benefit from the procedure.
Our advanced techniques are performed in a comfortable and safe environment. Modern techniques ensure quick healing and minimal soreness.
Our philosophy is to fully explain the options to our clients, and educate you about what is happening and why. You can talk to us about any of our complete selection of dental health care services.
When do we recommend bone grafts?
There are several situations in which a tooth extraction may be the best solution.
The most common reasons include the following:
Implants for missing teeth
For those who require dental implants, bone grafts may be required. Bone grafting is a common part of the procedure to replace missing teeth.
Tooth loss
If you have lost a tooth, either via an accident or gum disease, a bone graft may help restore your jawline’s integrity.
Gum disease
Advanced gum disease can negatively affect your gumline and jaw bone. If it progresses far enough without treatment it could lead to tooth loss, bone loss and gum loss.
Bone loss
Bone loss can change the structure of the face. This can happen as a result of ageing, osteoporosis, or an accident.
Allografts
This technique involves the use of bone donated by a genetically similar human donor. The donated material is sterilized and stored in a donor bank.
Xenografts
As the name implies a xenograft is bone material harvested from a genetically dissimilar donor (animal bone).
