What is bone grafting and why is it necessary for dental implants?

Bone grafting is a procedure to replace and regrow lost bone in the jaw, providing a stable base for dental implants. It’s necessary when there has been bone loss due to periodontal disease, infection, or injury, ensuring successful implant placement.

How does bone grafting work?

-
  • Source of Bone: Bone may be taken from the patient’s body or jaw, a cadaver source, or an animal.
  • Procedure: The bone is placed in the jawbone where augmentation is needed.
  • Healing: It can take several months for the new bone to grow enough to support a dental implant.

What happens during the dental implant procedure?

+
-
  • Titanium Post: A titanium dental implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone.
  • Healing Period: It can take months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone.
  • Abutment Placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, extending it above the gumline.

How long does the entire process take?

The entire process, including bone grafting, implant placement, and crown insertion, can take several months to a year, depending individual healing times and treatment plans. However, the results are long-lasting and provide a natural-looking smile.
