Many times, bone grafting is required for dental restorations, including dental implants or bridges. In most cases, the success of the tooth restoration depends on the height, depth, and width of the jawbone where the implant is being placed. When the jawbone shrinks due to missing teeth, or there has been significant damage to the jawbone, dental implants cannot be placed because the foundation is unstable. If this is the case, the dentist will likely recommend bone grafting.

Bone Graft

Bone may seem like a hard, rigid substance to most people, but the fact is that bone structure can change over time. Bones often get brittle as we age, but in the field of dentistry, bone loss can occur in other ways. One common way if through periodontal disease. When periodontal disease becomes more advanced, it can lead to bone loss, which can ultimately lead to the loss of teeth and a misshaped jaw. Bone loss can cause your facial features to sag, which can make you look older.

When is Bone Graft Needed?

Bone grafts can help with cases of severe periodontal disease. If your teeth have become loose, a bone graft can help save them from extraction. Bone grafts can regenerate the bone surrounding the teeth to provide extra support. A bone graft is needed when your bone is insufficient or too low to hold dental implants. When teeth are lost, the surrounding bone melts away and weakens. An implant is only as successful as the supporting bone. Therefore, a bone graft may be needed to generate sufficient bone volume. Bone grafts are also used in tooth extractions. It is common for a dentist to place bone grafting material into the socket after extracting a tooth. This allows a person to easily get a dental implant down the road if they so desire.

Bone Grafting Process

Bone grafting may seem like a major surgery, but it is actually a minor surgical procedure normally done in a dental office. In fact, only local anesthesia is required. The dentist makes an incision in your gum to access the underlying bone. A grafting material made of processed bone materials is then added. This material helps your body deposit new bone cells and build new bone. It may come from your own body or from an animal or other human. In some cases, it can even be synthetic. It may come in putty, gel, granule or powder form. In any case, it will likely be covered by a collagen membrane to help repair bone quickly.
