Bone grafting is a specialized dental procedure that can restore your jaw’s strength and health, particularly when bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth or advanced gum disease. If you have lost a tooth, your jawbone can begin to deteriorate, leading to a weaker jaw and difficulties in placing dental restorations like implants. At Mosaic Dental, we are committed to helping you maintain a healthy, strong smile, and bone grafting is one of the ways we achieve this.
During a bone grafting procedure, our experienced dentists will transplant bone material to the affected area of your jaw. This bone can come from another part of your body, a tissue bank or synthetic sources. Using your own bone often provides the best results, as it integrates more naturally with your existing bone structure. However, we also use high-quality artificial materials that are effective and safe. The bone graft acts as a scaffold, encouraging new bone growth and increasing the density and strength of your jaw over time.
We may recommend bone grafting if you are considering dental implants but lack sufficient bone mass to support them. Implants require a sturdy foundation, and a bone graft can provide the necessary support for successful implantation. Additionally, bone grafting might be necessary if you are undergoing periodontal treatment and gum disease has led to bone deterioration.
