Dental bone grafting is a highly effective procedure that involves the following steps:
Step 1 – Consultation
Your journey toward dental bone grafting begins with a consultation with our Dentists; during this initial appointment, we will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.
Step 2 – Choosing the grafting material
There are several types of grafting materials available, including autografts (your own bone), allografts (donor bone), and synthetic materials. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option for your specific case.
Step 3 – Grafting procedure
Once the grafting material is chosen, the actual procedure begins. Your dentist will make an incision in the area that requires bone regeneration and place the grafting material in the deficient area.
Step 4 – Healing and integration
Over time, your body will naturally integrate the grafting material with your existing bone. This process can take several months and is essential for the long-term success of the graft.
Step 5 – Implant placement
After the graft has fully integrated and healed, you may be eligible for dental implant placement or other necessary dental procedures.
