Bone Grafting

Your smile’s strength begins with a strong foundation, and healthy bone is at the core of that foundation. However, situations can arise where bone loss becomes a concern, whether due to injury, gum disease or tooth removal. Enter bone grafting: a remarkable procedure that has revolutionized dentistry by offering the means to restore and reinforce bone structure, thereby opening doors to successful treatments like dental implants.

Why Would I Need a Bone Graft?

Bone grafting becomes essential when bone loss threatens your oral health. Dr. Farid Noie might recommend a bone graft if:

• You are considering dental implants but lack sufficient bone to support them.
• Gum disease or infection has led to bone deterioration around your teeth.
• A tooth extraction has left an area with insufficient bone for future restoration.

What to Expect

If you are considering bone grafting, here is a brief overview of what the process involves at Unicare Center for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry:

• Evaluation: Our dentist will assess your bone health and overall oral condition.
• Procedure: A specialized graft material — which can be sourced from various origins — is placed in the targeted area.
• Integration: Over time, your body naturally incorporates the graft material, stimulating new bone growth.
• Recovery: Post-procedure care and follow-up appointments will ensure a smooth healing process.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

• Enables successful placement of dental implants by creating a sturdy base.
• Preserves facial contours and prevents a sunken appearance caused by bone loss.
• Strengthens adjacent teeth by maintaining bone density and structure.
• Enhances the longevity of restorative dental work.
• Reduces the risk of complications during dental procedures.

In essence, bone grafting serves as a cornerstone in modern dentistry’s ability to restore not only smiles but also oral health and confidence.
