Bone grafting is a vital procedure for patients experiencing bone loss in the mouth due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or injury. Without teeth support, the jawbone can deteriorate, affecting oral function and facial appearance. At Concord Lexington Periodontics, we offer comprehensive bone grafting services to rebuild the bone and prepare your jaw for dental implants or other restorations.
Several types of grafting surgery are available depending on the patient’s specific needs. These include autogenous grafts, which use bone from another part of your body; allografts, which use donor bone; and xenografts, which use bone from non-human sources, typically bovine. Our periodontal dental care experts carefully consider each option to ensure the best results for restoring the jawbone.
If you are considering dental implants but have been told you lack sufficient bone, a sinus lift may be necessary. This procedure raises the sinus floor and adds bone to ensure implant stability in the upper jaw.
Bone grafting is essential to restore oral health and ensure long-term dental function. With grafting surgery, we can preserve the jaw’s structure, prevent further bone loss, and improve the outcomes of future treatments like dental implants. Patients who undergo bone grafting can also improve facial appearance by preventing the sunken look that often results from untreated bone loss in the mouth.
Additionally, emergency surgery for sudden tooth loss or damage may require immediate grafting to prevent further complications. Our specialists will accompany you throughout the procedure, from diagnosis to recovery, ensuring you are well cared for.
