Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting Procedures To Rebuild Your Jaw

If you have had a tooth extracted, you can lose more than 50 percent of bone volume without a bone graft or dental implant placement. Bone loss can eventually cause facial deformities and oral health issues. This is why we typically recommend replacing a tooth shortly after a tooth extraction. Dr. Cieplak may recommend dental implants to replace missing teeth following extractions.

Reasons To Undergo A Bone Graft

Dr. Patrick Cieplak may perform bone grafting procedures to rebuild the jaw bone after periodontal disease or tooth loss. Bone tissue may be placed in areas where gum disease has advanced, providing much needed support for existing teeth. Ridge augmentation replenishes bone tissue in areas of missing teeth where bone deterioration has occurred, while ridge preservation adds bone to the socket immediately following a tooth extraction. These procedures may be part of a more comprehensive full mouth reconstruction treatment plan.

Benefits Of A Bone Graft

Stops jaw bone atrophy, provides stability for existing teeth, reduces risk of facial deformities, provides support for prosthetic replacements, maintains integrity of surrounding teeth, restores comfort for denture wearers, restores bony defects, improves aesthetic appearance and improves function of implants and dentures

Bone Graft For Dental Implants

Dental implants are a viable solution for replacing missing teeth permanently, but do require a certain amount of bone tissue in order to stabilize the implant. Dr. Cieplak may recommend a bone graft before dental implant placement to create a solid foundation for the implant. He uses special techniques to graft tissue from a donor source or from the patient’s own body. If you do not have enough bone available in the upper molar region of the jaw, you may need to undergo a sinus lift or sinus augmentation procedure to allow for implant placement.
