Bone Grafting
One of the most serious consequences of missing teeth are bone loss in the jaws. It can affect the mouth in a number of ways, one of which is a decrease in gum tissues. It would also limit the choices of tooth replacement treatments available. This would even affect the basic structure of your face. This is when bone grafting procedures can prove to be very helpful.
Bone grafting is basically performed with materials that stimulate the growth of bone at the missing tooth site. If it is done immediately after extraction, then grafting would help in preventing bone loss. This would also allow for any future dental implant treatments.
How does it work?
This basically works like a platform where the nearby bones can grow. The newly grown bones would gradually replace the graft material. These materials are made from components that are gradually absorbed by the body. The bone grafting approach basically depends on the location of the mouth, amount of tooth loss and the time after tooth loss when the surgery is being carried out.
Bone loss can cause a lot of harm to your overall oral health and make you look older than you actually are. With more advanced grafting technologies, one can expect faster bone growth so as to enhance overall oral health. So in case you are unable to opt for any dental implant techniques due to lesser bones, then bone grafting can be a safe choice.
Uses of Bone Grafting
Some treatments that can be accomplished using Bone Grafting would include:
- The bone around the teeth can be regenerated using grafting. This helps in saving teeth that have loosened due to periodontal disease or bone loss.
- The bone grafting materials are often placed inside the socket after the tooth has been removed.
- Bone grafting also provides support to dental implants.
