What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a crucial procedure that replaces lost bone tissue and promotes natural bone growth. It is often utilized to stop gum disease progression, establish a solid foundation for implant placement, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile.

Types of Bone Grafts

There are several types of bone grafts, but the most common ones include:

Autogenous Bone Graft

In this type of graft, the bone is removed from elsewhere in the body and implanted in the mouth. This method is highly successful and is usually preferred by dentists.

Allograft

In this type of graft, synthetic bone can be created in the laboratory and used in the bone grafting procedure. Alternatively, bone can be obtained from a bone bank (cadaver bone).

Xenograft

This involves the implantation of bovine (cow) bone. A xenograft is perfectly safe and has been used successfully in many cases.

Why You May Need Bone Grafting

There are several reasons why bone grafting may be the best option for restoring your jaw bone. The most common reasons include:

Implants

Implants are the preferred replacement method for missing teeth, but they need to be firmly anchored to the jawbone to be effective. If the jawbone lacks the necessary quality or quantity of bone, bone grafting can strengthen and thicken the implant site.

Sinus Lift

A sinus lift entails elevating the sinus membrane and grafting bone onto the sinus floor so that implants can be securely placed.

Ridge Augmentation

Ridges in the bone can occur due to trauma, injury, birth defects, or severe periodontal disease. The bone graft is used to fill in the ridge and give the jawbone a uniform shape.

Nerve Repositioning

If the inferior alveolar nerve requires movement to allow for the placement of implants, a bone grafting procedure may be required. The inferior alveolar nerve allows for feeling and sensation in the lower chin and lip.
