Did you know that not everyone has the required jawbone density for dental implants? If you’ve been told you don’t qualify for implants due to insufficient bone, bone grafting can be the key to making your dream smile a reality. In this blog, we’ll explore what bone grafting is, why it’s needed, and how it improves the success rate of dental implants.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone by adding new bone material. This prepares the jaw to support dental implants securely, ensuring long-term stability and durability.
Why is Bone Grafting Necessary?
- Prepares the Jaw for Implants – Ensures a strong foundation for implant placement.
- Prevents Facial Collapse – Loss of bone can lead to a sunken facial appearance.
- Increases Implant Success Rate – A strong jawbone improves long-term stability and functionality.
- Supports Oral Health – Bone grafting helps prevent further bone loss and supports surrounding teeth.
Types of Bone Grafts
- Autografts – Bone taken from the patient’s own body.
- Allografts – Donor bone from a human source.
- Xenografts – Bone sourced from animals.
- Synthetic Grafts – Biocompatible materials that promote bone growth.
The Bone Grafting Process
- Consultation with Dr. Terinder Chahal – Assess jawbone condition using advanced imaging.
- Bone Graft Placement – A minor surgical procedure where grafting material is added to the jawbone.
- Healing Period – The bone integrates and strengthens over a few months.
- Implant Placement – Once the bone is fully healed, the dental implant can be securely placed.
