Bone grafting is a dental procedure that involves replacing or augmenting missing bone in the jaw. Bone loss can occur as a result of tooth extraction or periodontal disease. When teeth are removed, the surrounding bone can deteriorate over time. This can lead to problems with neighboring teeth and compromise the overall structure and stability of the jawbone.
If you're considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, having sufficient bone density is crucial for successful implantation. Without enough healthy bone to support the implant, it won't be able to integrate properly into your jawbone. Additionally, trauma or injuries to the face and jaw can cause significant damage to the underlying bones. In such cases, bone grafting may be necessary to rebuild and restore proper function.
By undergoing a bone grafting procedure, individuals can improve their oral health by providing a sturdy foundation for dental restorations like implants or dentures. It's an essential step towards regaining confidence in one's smile and maintaining long-term oral well-being.
Ridge augmentation is a common dental procedure that aims to restore the natural contour of the jawbone, particularly in areas where it has been damaged or lost due to tooth extraction or trauma. This procedure helps create a solid foundation for future dental implants.
