Bone Grafting
We are pleased to offer bone grafting as part of our comprehensive oral surgery services at Your Smile Group® Affiliated practices.
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical dental treatment that works to increase the volume of bone in your jaw. The goal of bone grafting is to effectively support a dental restoration like implants or dentures.
We are pleased to offer bone grafting as part of our comprehensive oral surgery services at Your Smile Group® Affiliated practices. Our experienced dentists will use advanced imaging to analyze your current bone volume and determine whether a bone graft is needed.
Do you need bone grafting?
You may need a bone graft if you have bone loss in your jawbone. Our dentist may recommend bone grafting in several situations.
Tooth Loss
You have bone loss due to tooth loss that has resulted in decreased jawbone volume.
Jawbone Atrophy
Your jawbone has begun to atrophy and requires additional support and volume.
Periodontal Disease
You have bone loss due to advanced periodontal disease affecting the jaw structure.
Implant Support
You need additional bone volume to properly support implants or dentures.
Indications
When do you need oral surgery?
When possible, we strive to provide conservative dental treatments. In some cases, however, oral surgery is the best option for preserving and improving your oral health. Our experienced dentists may recommend oral surgery if:
- A tooth is severely infected or decayed
- You have impacted wisdom teeth
- You have jawbone loss
- You are missing teeth and would like to replace them with dental implants
- A tooth is fractured below the gumline
- You have chronic jaw pain or bite problems
- You experience a dental emergency that requires surgery
No matter your situation, our skilled dentists will provide a thorough examination and evaluation and will explain your treatment options.
