Bone grafting is a vital procedure in restorative and implant dentistry, providing the necessary support for dental implants and preserving the structural integrity of the jawbone. Dr. Mayur Patel is committed to helping patients achieve optimal oral health through precise and effective bone grafting techniques.
Understanding Bone Grafting
Bone grafting involves the transplantation of bone tissue to areas where bone loss has occurred, often due to tooth loss, gum disease or trauma. This procedure is essential for creating a stable foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments. The process of bone grafting typically includes several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination and imaging to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the appropriate grafting material.
- Grafting Procedure: Transplanting bone tissue, which may be sourced from the patient, a donor or synthetic materials, to the affected area.
- Healing and Integration: Allowing time for the graft to fuse with the existing bone, typically several months.
- Follow-Up and Restoration: Monitoring the healing process and proceeding with further restorative treatments, such as dental implants.
