Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a widely performed procedure designed to restore or enhance jawbone density, often in preparation for dental implants or to address bone loss caused by trauma or periodontal disease. At Oral Surgery + Cenla, our skilled oral surgeons specialize in advanced bone grafting techniques to help patients achieve optimal oral health and function.

Why Is Bone Grafting Needed?

• Dental Implant Support: If the jawbone has weakened or lacks sufficient density, bone grafting helps create a strong foundation for successful dental implant placement.
• Socket Preservation: After tooth extraction, bone grafting helps prevent bone loss, maintaining the jaw’s structure for future implants or preserving facial aesthetics.
• Ridge Augmentation: This procedure restores or enhances the height and width of the alveolar ridge, improving the fit and stability of dentures and other dental prosthetics.
• Correction of Jaw Defects: Bone grafting can address congenital abnormalities, trauma-related damage, or bone loss resulting from previous surgeries, restoring both function and appearance.

The Bone Grafting Process

• Consultation: During your initial visit, our oral surgeon will assess your oral health, discuss treatment options, and determine the most suitable bone grafting approach based on your specific needs.
• Preoperative Planning: If bone grafting is recommended, we will schedule the procedure and provide detailed pre-surgery instructions.
• Surgery: On the day of the procedure, anesthesia will be administered for your comfort, and the bone grafting material—sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic alternatives—will be placed to encourage bone regeneration.
• Healing and Integration: Over time, the graft material fuses with the existing bone, stimulating new bone growth and strengthening the jaw.
• Follow-up Care: We will provide post-surgical instructions for managing discomfort, swelling, and healing. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure the best results.
