What is bone grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure that helps to regenerate lost bone tissue in the jaw. The procedure is often used to prepare the jaw for dental implants, but it can also be used to improve the stability of existing teeth. Bone grafting involves taking bone tissue from another part of the body and placing it in the jaw. The graft will eventually fuse with the existing bone, providing a firm foundation for dental implants or restoring strength to the jawbone. In some cases, artificial bone materials may be used instead of natural tissue. Dental bone grafting is a safe and effective way to improve the health of your jawbone and ensure long-term oral health.
When is dental bone grafting needed? The most common reason for needing oral bone grafting is due to periodontal disease, which is why the procedure is also sometimes called “periodontal bone grafting.” Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. If you have periodontal disease and want dental implants, you will likely need oral bone grafting to provide a solid foundation for the implants. The good news is that oral bone grafting is a highly successful procedure with a success rate of over 95%.
Oral Bone Grafting Post-Care
After oral bone grafting surgery, it’s important to take care of your mouth to help the healing process. You may need to:
– brush and floss your teeth carefully
– eat soft foods for a few days
– take pain medication as prescribed
– avoid smoking or using tobacco products
– use a special mouthwash to help prevent infection.
You may also have a few follow-up appointments so your All Dental professional can check on your progress. Taking good care of your mouth after oral bone grafting surgery will help ensure a successful outcome.
