When tooth loss occurs, the jawbone begins to deteriorate without the stimulation from tooth roots, making it challenging to place dental implants or maintain facial structure. Bone grafting provides a solution by rebuilding and strengthening the jawbone to support successful implant placement and restore your oral health.
At Ponce Dental Studio, our experienced team uses advanced bone grafting techniques to help patients achieve successful dental implant outcomes. Our oral surgery services include comprehensive bone grafting procedures designed to restore adequate bone volume for implant placement. With our AI-driven diagnostic technology and in-house lab capabilities, we provide precise treatment planning and exceptional results for our Atlanta patients.
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or augments jawbone tissue to provide adequate support for dental implants. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone begins to resorb or shrink because it no longer receives stimulation from the tooth root. Research from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry shows that within the first three months following tooth loss, you may lose up to 25% of the bone in that area.
This bone loss can compromise your ability to receive dental implants and may affect your facial appearance over time. Bone grafting restores the necessary bone volume and density to support successful implant placement while maintaining your facial structure and oral health.
We offer several types of bone grafting procedures depending on your specific needs and the extent of bone loss. Autografts use bone from your own body, typically harvested from another area of your jaw or sometimes from your hip or chin. This type of graft provides the most predictable results because your body readily accepts its own tissue.
Allografts use processed bone from human donors that has been thoroughly tested and sterilized. This option eliminates the need for a second surgical site and provides excellent results for most patients. Xenografts use bone from animal sources, typically bovine, that has been processed to remove all organic material while maintaining the mineral structure that supports new bone growth.
Your bone grafting journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination using our advanced diagnostic technology. We use digital imaging and AI-driven analysis to assess your bone structure and determine the most appropriate grafting technique for your situation. This thorough evaluation ensures we develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
During the procedure, we prioritize your comfort with our comprehensive sedation options and comfort amenities. The grafting material is carefully placed in the area where bone regeneration is needed, and we may use barrier membranes to protect the graft site and promote optimal healing. Our precise surgical techniques and advanced materials help ensure the successful integration of the graft with your existing bone.
The healing process following bone grafting typically takes several months as your body integrates the graft material with your existing bone. During this time, new bone cells grow and multiply, creating a strong foundation for future implant placement. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing progress to ensure optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following bone grafting procedures, and we provide comprehensive pain management guidance to keep you comfortable throughout recovery. Our team remains available to address any questions or concerns you may have during the healing process.
Bone grafting may be recommended if you have insufficient bone volume or density to support dental implants. Common situations that may require bone grafting include prolonged tooth loss without replacement, advanced gum disease that has damaged the supporting bone structure, or traumatic injury that has resulted in bone loss.
We also recommend bone grafting for patients who want to preserve their bone structure following tooth extraction. Socket preservation grafting performed immediately after tooth removal can prevent significant bone loss and maintain the area for future implant placement.
Our comprehensive evaluation process helps determine whether bone grafting is necessary for your specific situation. We examine your medical history, current oral health status, and treatment goals to develop a personalized plan that achieves the best possible outcomes. Factors we consider include:
This thorough assessment ensures we recommend the most appropriate grafting technique and develop realistic expectations for your treatment timeline and results.
