Bone Grafting Qualifies You for Dental Implant Placement
Schedule ConsultationJAW BONE LOSS CAN PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING DENTAL IMPLANTS
An important qualification for dental implant surgery is having adequate jaw bone volume. The loss of bone in your jaw can affect your oral health and overall appearance, giving you an aged and sunken-in look. Additionally, bone loss restricts your qualifications for dental implant placement, as they require a sufficient amount of bone volume to be successful. When bone loss affects your jaw, Dr. Brian Francis can restore the lost volume with a bone grafting procedure.
THE BONE GRAFTING PROCEDURE AND OUTCOME
When performing the bone grafting procedure, Dr. Francis will take a small amount of bone tissue from your body or a donor source and convert it into bone granules. These granules are then placed at the site of bone loss and given time to heal, usually several months. The bone grafting material will fuse to your existing jaw bone to encourage bone growth and create acceptable levels necessary for successful dental implant surgery. The titanium implant posts will be able to merge with your renewed bone and provide you with a stable hold.
