Bone grafting will create a strong foundation for implants. You'll avoid the "sunken cheek" look from tooth loss. You can eat all the foods you love once again. This comprehensive treatment approach ensures your dental implants will have the best possible chance for long-term success. Dr. Stanfield would love to give your smile a new lease on life with implants.

Bolster Your Jaw Health

Without the tooth roots in your jaw to stimulate the area, you may experience bone loss in your jaw. A bone grafting procedure will regenerate bone in your jaw. While it may sound complicated, this process is relatively simple. Here is what you can expect:

  • Dr. Stanfield will numb the area, then make a small opening in your gum.
  • While it's a painless procedure, we can offer sedation to ease your nerves. You can choose laughing gas, oral sedation with a small pill, or IV conscious sedation.
  • He will place a small amount of bone material in your jaw to encourage the development of bone growth, then seal the area with a membrane.
  • Once the procedure is complete, over the course of a few months your jawbone will return to optimal health.
  • You'll return for checkups so we can monitor your bone development and plan your implant procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Grafts

What is a bone graft?

A bone graft builds up bone in your jaw after you have lost teeth. Bone loss is a consequence of losing teeth because the tooth is no longer there to stimulate the bone beneath it. We'll put a special material in the socket and cover it to safeguard the area. Over time, it will literally become a component of your bone as it stimulates brand-new development. Because your bone is stronger, you can become a prospect for dental implants.

Can bone grafts save teeth?

A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate so you won't lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.

Are bone grafts safe?

Bone grafts are safe when they are performed by a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Stanfield. Dentists need training in this procedure and must do the proper screening before recommending it. Even so, it is not a complex procedure, and it's commonplace at our office. We can discuss any possible side effects with you during the planning stages.
