Are you missing teeth and concerned about bone loss? Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that can help rebuild your jawbone and provide a strong foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we offer expert bone grafting services to help you achieve a healthy and confident smile.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting involves adding bone material to areas of your jawbone that have deteriorated or lack sufficient density. This can be caused by various factors, including:
- Tooth loss: Missing teeth can lead to bone resorption, as the jawbone no longer has the support it needs.
- Gum disease: Periodontitis can damage the bone and soft tissues surrounding your teeth.
- Injury or trauma: Accidents or injuries can cause damage to the jawbone.
- Natural aging: Over time, the jawbone can naturally deteriorate.
Why is Bone Grafting Important?
Adequate bone support is essential for the success of dental implants and other restorative treatments. Without sufficient bone density, these treatments may not be stable or long-lasting. Bone grafting helps to rebuild your jawbone, providing a strong foundation for a healthy and functional smile.
What to Expect During a Bone Grafting Procedure
The bone grafting procedure typically involves:
- Numbing the area: Your dentist will administer local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Making an incision: A small incision is made in your gum tissue.
- Placing the bone graft: Bone graft material is carefully placed in the affected area.
- Closing the incision: The incision is then closed with sutures
