Why Bone Grafting May Be Needed
Your jawbone plays a crucial role in supporting your teeth and maintaining the natural shape of your face. However, when teeth are missing, the bone begins to shrink due to lack of stimulation from chewing. Over time, this can lead to:
- Jawbone deterioration
- Collapsed facial appearance
- Shifting or loosening of remaining teeth
- Difficulty replacing teeth with implants or dentures
Bone graftingis a proven solution that replaces lost bone, improves oral function, and prepares your mouth for dental implantsor other restorations.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
- Allows for dental implant placement
- Restores facial volume and lip support
- Improves fit and comfort of dentures
- Treats bone loss due to gum disease or extraction
- Enhances overall oral and systemic health
- Prevents further dental complications
Bone grafting helps rebuild and strengthen the jawbone lost due to gum disease, aging, or extractions. It creates a solid foundation for dental implants, improves denture fit, and restores facial structure. This treatment also protects against further bone loss and supports long-term oral and overall health.
Types of Bone Grafting Procedures We Offer
At Elite Dental Specialists, we offer several types of bone grafts depending on your specific needs:
1. Socket Preservation
Performed immediately after a tooth extraction, this procedure fills the empty socket with grafting material to preserve bone volume and shape. It prevents rapid bone loss and preps the site for future dental implants.
2. Ridge Augmentation
When a portion of your jaw ridge has deteriorated or lost density, we can rebuild it using bone grafting material. This improves the shape of your jaw and provides support for full or partial dentures.
3. Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)
If the upper jaw bone beneath the sinuses is too thin for implants, we gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material to create sufficient height. This is often required for implants in the upper back teeth.
Bone Grafting for Dental Implants
Many implant candidates are told they lack the bone necessary to support long-term restorations—but bone grafting can change that.
Whether your tooth was removed recently or years ago, grafting helps:
- Rebuild lost bone
- Maintain proper ridge width and height
- Ensure future implant success
For some patients, grafting can be done the same day as implant placement. Others may need 3–6 months of healing before proceeding. During your consultation, Dr. Obeidiwill use 3D CBCT scans to determine the best approach for your smile.
