Signs You Need a Dental Bone Graft

Missing Teeth:

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding alveolar bone (the part of the jawbone that supports the teeth) begins to deteriorate. Bone loss makes it challenging to place a dental implant without first performing a bone graft to rebuild the volume and density of the jawbone.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease:

Advanced gum disease leads to the destruction of the alveolar bone, causing the teeth to become loose and potentially fall out. A bone graft is required to restore the lost bone and stabilize the remaining teeth.

Trauma or Injury:

Sudden impact or trauma to the jaw causes significant damage to the bone, often resulting in the need for a bone graft to repair the defect and prepare the area for future dental work, such as implants.

Congenital Defects:

Some people are born with abnormalities or deficiencies in the development of the jawbone. This can require a bone graft to correct the issue and enable proper dental function and aesthetics.

Sinus Issues:

When the maxillary sinuses (located above the back upper teeth) are too close to the tooth roots or have expanded due to tooth loss, a sinus lift bone graft may be necessary to create adequate space for dental implants.

Ridge Atrophy:

Over time, the alveolar ridge (the bony structure that supports the teeth) can begin to shrink or recede, leading to a loss of bone volume. This can make it difficult to place dental implants without first performing a bone grafting procedure.

Failed Dental Implants:

If a dental implant fails and needs to be removed, the surrounding bone may be compromised. A bone graft rebuilds the lost bone and creates a stable foundation for a new implant.

Types of Dental Bone Grafts

Autografts: Bone is taken from another area of your own body, typically from the jaw or hip, for the grafting procedure.
Allografts: Donor bone from a human cadaver is used, and processed to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Xenografts: Bone material from animals, often bovine, is used to promote bone growth in the jaw.
Alloplasts: Synthetic bone substitutes, such as calcium-based materials, are used to stimulate bone regeneration.

What To Expect When Getting a Bone Graft The Dental Bone Graft Procedure

Initial Consultation and Evaluation:

Our oral surgeon will thoroughly examine your mouth, review your medical history and take detailed imaging scans (such as X-rays or a CT scan) to assess the extent of the bone loss and determine the best course of treatment.
We’ll discuss the specifics of the bone grafting procedure, including the type of graft material to be used, the surgical approach, and the expected timeline for the procedure and recovery.
You'll have the

Preparation and Sedation:

On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.
We will numb the surgical site for your comfort during the procedure.
In some cases, additional sedation options may be offered to help you relax.

Bone Graft Placement:

A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone.
Depending on the type of bone graft being used, the graft material may be sourced from your own body (autograft), a donor (allograft) or a synthetic material (xenograft or alloplastic graft).
The graft material will be carefully placed into the defect or area of bone loss, and the gum tissue will be sutured back into place.

Healing and Integration:

Over the next several months, the bone graft will undergo a process called osseointegration, where the graft material will fuse with your existing jawbone to create a stable, supportive foundation.
During this time, you may experience some swelling, discomfort and limited mobility in the treatment area, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain medications.
It's important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your dental team, which include dietary restrictions, oral hygiene recommendations and activity limitations.

Dental Implant Placement or Other Restoration:

Once the bone graft has fully integrated and the area has healed, we'll proceed with the placement of a dental implant or other dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge or denture.
The successful integration of the bone graft is crucial for long-term stability and the success of any subsequent dental work.
