At Tranquility Dental, we understand the critical role that a healthy jawbone plays in dental restoration and overall oral health. Our bone grafting procedures are designed to restore bone density and prepare your mouth for further treatments, such as dental implants, ensuring the longevity and success of these procedures.
Understanding Bone Grafts
What Are Bone Grafts?
Bone grafts involve transplanting bone tissue to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones in the jaw. This procedure is crucial for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or prolonged tooth loss.
Why Bone Grafts Are Necessary
Bone grafts are typically required to provide sufficient bone structure for dental implants or other restorative procedures. They are also used to enhance the jawline’s contour and prevent the long-term effects of bone atrophy.
The Bone Grafting Process at Tranquility Dental
Candidate Evaluation
Ideal candidates for bone grafts include those with jawbone deficiencies that prevent dental implant placement, those experiencing bone loss due to periodontal disease, or individuals with facial traumas. Our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the best approach for each patient’s unique needs.
The Procedure
Our bone grafting procedure starts with a consultation where Dr. Sejal Shah or a specialist assesses your oral health. Under local anesthesia or sedation, a small incision is made in the gum tissue to place the grafting material, which could be sourced from the patient, a donor, or synthetic materials. This material helps regenerate lost bone, providing a sturdy foundation for future dental implants.
Recovery and Care
Post-procedure care is crucial for a successful bone graft. Patients may experience minor swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and support throughout the healing process to ensure optimal recovery.
