Bone Grafting: Enhancing Jaw Structure for Implants
Bone grafting is a transformative procedure offered by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to restore bone volume and strength in the jaw. Whether due to bone loss from missing teeth, trauma, resection of pathology, or infection, inadequate bone structure can compromise the success of dental implants or other oral surgeries.
At our practice, we specialize in various bone grafting techniques tailored to each patient's unique needs:
- Autogenous Bone Grafts: Utilizing bone harvested from the patient's own body, typically from the jaw or hip, autogenous bone grafts offer the highest potential for successful integration and long-term stability.
- Allografts: Donor bone grafts sourced from human cadavers provide a safe alternative for patients who prefer not to undergo a second surgical site for bone harvesting.
- Xenografts and Synthetic Grafts: These grafting materials, derived from animal or synthetic sources, offer biocompatible options for patients seeking alternatives to autogenous or allogeneic grafts.
