Bone Grafts Help Restoration

The term bone graft sounds serious but they are routine in dental practices like 11 Dental. Those with oral health care issues like gum recession lose bone in their jaws. That leads to loose teeth, which will inevitably become lost teeth. A bone graft helps restore and grow bone in the jaw so the patient can move forward with restoration and regaining full mouth function and a beautiful smile.
At 11 Dental, we are committed to performing bone grafts safely and with minimal discomfort. They are the start of many of our patients’ journeys to oral health.

How Bone Grafts Help

Bone grafts are a relatively simple way to ensure you have enough bone density to undergo successful dental restoration like dental implants. Dental implants require a specific amount of bone density for the implants to anchor into the jaw. Without that, they wouldn’t secure your new crown as a permanent tooth. One of the easiest ways dentists perform bone grafts is when they extract the tooth. The gum is already open so it’s a convenient time to insert bone graft material if the patient is considering getting an implant later as part of restoration.
Bone graft material comes from four sources. It can be synthetic, which is often used. It can also be from a human or animal donor. It can also come from the patient as they can donate their own material. All bone graft material, regardless of its source, does the same thing. It spurs your bone to grow. Once we put the material in, it helps your jawbone to replicate and become more dense. Most must wait a couple of months for the gum to heal and to see a difference in bone density before they have restorative work done.

Learn the Facts About Bone Grafts

01

Your body eventually replaces the graft. Bone growth from the graft will grow more to restore strength and density to the jaw.

02

Bone grafts stop bone loss and preserve your face shape. It’s a good idea to get it even if you aren’t sure about getting an implant quickly..

03

Results are forever. It can take months for the graft to integrate with your jawbone but then your bone keeps reproducing.

04

Patients with bone grafts have a higher success rate with their dental implants. That’s because the bone is a better foundation.

05

Bone graft cost can vary.. It depends on the bone graft material used and how much is needed. Synthetic material is more affordable than other options. Bone grafts cost additionally beyond the cost of the extraction or implant.

06

Bone grafting helps maintain facial contours that can collapse or sink after tooth loss, keeping your smile and facial structure more youthful and natural-looking.
