77 Tamarack Circle, Montgomery, NJ 08558Bone loss in the jaw can affect both oral health and the ability to receive dental implants. When the jawbone is too thin or weak, it may not provide the necessary support for long-term tooth replacement. Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds lost bone, creating a strong foundation for implants and improving overall oral health. We offer bone grafting to help patients restore jaw strength and prepare for future dental treatments.
Why Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
Bone loss can occur for several reasons, leading to weakened jaw structure and potential complications. Common causes include:
- Tooth Loss: When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate over time.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can break down bone tissue, weakening the jaw.
- Trauma or Injury: Accidents or extractions may result in significant bone loss.
- Congenital Conditions: Some patients naturally have insufficient bone for implant placement.
The Benefits of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting provides several advantages, particularly for patients considering dental implants or other restorative treatments:
- Creates a Strong Foundation for Implants: Increases bone density for secure implant placement.
- Prevents Further Bone Loss: Maintains jawbone structure and oral health.
- Enhances Facial Aesthetics: Restores natural contours for a healthier appearance.
- Improves Support for Restorations: Strengthens the jaw for dentures, bridges or implants.
What to Expect From the Bone Grafting Procedure
The bone grafting process involves:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Joyce Ma assesses the jawbone and discusses treatment options.
- Bone Graft Placement: A small amount of bone material is added to rebuild the weakened area.
- Healing and Integration: The graft fuses with the natural bone over several months, creating a solid base.
