Bone Grafting
The Best Bone Grafting in Brookhaven
Dental bone grafting is a procedure performed here at Brookhaven Dental Associates to increase the amount of bone in a part of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support is needed. The dental surgeon removes small amounts of healthy living tissue from other parts of your mouth and grafts it into the area that needs to be strengthened. The graft fuses with your existing jawbone and new bone begins to grow, gradually increasing the amount and quality of your jawbone.
A big part of restoring oral function is adding bone and structural support to your jaw. Dental bone grafting is one of the techniques used to achieve these goals. At Brookhaven Dental Associates, our team can help determine if this is the right procedure for you.
About Our Dental Bone Grafting Services
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure used in restoring and regenerating bone tissue in the jaw. We recommend this process when bone volume becomes deficient or weak due to tooth loss, infection, injury, or gum disease.
The procedure uses small amounts of healthy bone tissue from other parts of the mouth (autogenous bone), grafting it into the affected area. With time, the graft fuses into your jawbone (osseointegration), prompting new bone to grow. This gradually increases the quality and strength of your jawbone.
Loss of bone volume can result from various factors including periodontal disease, accidents or trauma, infection, and poor extraction technique. Furthermore, if you had a tooth extraction a long time ago, the surrounding bone may have resorbed or regenerated to some extent. It therefore requires a measure of augmentation to support an implant.
This procedure can provide the required foundation for dental implants, rebuild the jawbone prior to getting dentures, and support or stabilize loose teeth. It can also repair damaged bone resulting from dental trauma.
Benefits of Professional Dental Bone Grafting Services
Although this is generally a safe procedure, it carries the typical risks of pre- and post-operative complications such as nerve damage, infection, and severe bleeding. Our professional dental bone grafting services meet the required standards of safety, and adhere to evidence-based techniques, minimizing these and other risks.
Following the procedure, you will get detailed instructions from our experienced practitioners on how to care for the dental bone graft. Adhering to these instructions will further reduce the risk of complications.
Furthermore, getting our professional services optimizes treatment outcomes. We are a highly trained team of experts, skilled in providing the most accurate diagnosis and the best possible care for a smooth treatment process.
What to Expect at Your Dental Bone Grafting Appointment
Our dental bone grafting process begins with a thorough consultation, during which we evaluate your needs and determine the most suitable approach. After a comprehensive examination, the dental team will prepare you for surgery with local anesthesia or sedation and then get the graft site ready.
Once everything is set, the procedure begins. The dentist will make a small incision in the gum, exposing the jawbone. Next, they will place the grafting material in the affected area, stitch the incision closed, and clean the area. After the procedure, you will get detailed aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and support healing.
