bone grafting

In instances where a patient is looking to get dental implants or another type of restorative procedure, an important requirement for success is that there is enough supporting bone structure present. When this is not the case, bone grafting may be necessary before moving forward with treatment. An extremely common surgery, bone grafting is a safe and effective way to prepare the jaw for a successful implant or other dental procedure.

Ensuring that your dental restorations have a solid foundation.

The Importance of Dental Bone Grafting

bone grafting for Washington, DC patients

Dental bone grafting is an important part of many dental procedures, including dental implants. In order for a dental implant to be successful, there must be enough healthy bone tissue present to support it. When there is not enough bone, the implant is at risk for failure. Additionally, bone loss can lead to a deterioration of the jawbone, which can impact the overall health of the smile. Bone grafting can help to prevent these problems and ensure that dental implants are successful.

What Does Bone Grafting Do?

Bone grafting can be used for a number of reasons, all of which can help support a healthy smile. Bone grafting can:

Restore bone density and volume that has been lost due to injury or disease

Preserve the jawbone and prevent further deterioration

Improve the stability of dental implants

Enhance the cosmetic appearance of the smile

What To Expect With Bone Grafting 

At DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we like our patients to feel comfortable and prepared for every procedure, so here's what you can expect during the bone grafting process:

Your dentist will numb the area to ensure your comfort.

Small incisions will be made in the gums to access the bone.

The grafting material will be placed into the area and secured with titanium screws or another type of fixation device.

The incisions will be closed with sutures. 

You may be given pain medication and/or instructions on caring for your mouth while you heal.

We'll schedule you for follow up appointments to monitor your progress.
