Bone Grafts

What Are Bone Grafts?

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild and restore bone that has been lost or deteriorated due to periodontal disease, trauma, or other conditions. This procedure involves transplanting bone tissue to the affected area to support dental implants, enhance oral health, and improve overall jawbone function.

Benefits of Bone Grafts

1. Enhanced Implant Success
Bone grafting provides a stable foundation for dental implants, increasing their chances of success and longevity.

2. Improved Jawbone Health
Restoring lost bone helps maintain the structure and health of your jawbone, preventing further deterioration and associated dental issues.

3. Functional Restoration
By rebuilding bone, bone grafting improves your ability to chew and speak comfortably, restoring normal oral function.

4. Aesthetic Enhancement
A well-integrated bone graft can enhance the appearance of your smile by ensuring a natural and balanced facial profile.

Types of Bone Grafts

1. Autografts
Bone is harvested from your own body, usually from the hip, chin, or palate. Autografts are highly effective because the bone is biologically compatible with your body.

2. Allografts
Bone material is obtained from a human donor. Allografts are processed and sterilized to ensure safety and compatibility, and they offer a reliable option for bone restoration.

3. Xenografts
Bone material is sourced from animals, typically bovine (cow). Xenografts are carefully processed to be biocompatible and provide a solid foundation for new bone growth.

4. Alloplasts
Synthetic bone materials are used to stimulate bone growth. These materials are designed to mimic natural bone and support new bone formation effectively.

The Bone Grafting Procedure

1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Navid Baradarian will perform a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the most suitable grafting technique for your needs.

2. Treatment Planning
A personalized treatment plan is created to address your specific situation. Dr. Baradarian will discuss the options with you, ensuring you understand the procedure and expected outcomes.

3. Graft Placement
The selected bone graft material is placed in the targeted area. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the surgery.

4. Healing and Integration
The graft material integrates with your existing bone over time, a process known as osseointegration. This healing phase may take several months, during which you will receive guidance on care and follow-up appointments.

5. Follow-Up Care
Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor the progress of the graft and ensure successful integration. Dr. Baradarian will provide ongoing support and recommendations for maintaining your oral health.
