Bone Grafting

 

If you’ve been told that you’re not a good candidate for dental implants due to bone loss, you should know that you still have options. A bone grafting procedure can fill in lost bone, rebuilding your jawbone structure so it can successfully support a dental implant.  

Bone grafting in Elroy helps make dental implants a reality for all patients, even those who have suffered from bone loss due to periodontal (gum) disease, denture wear, tooth loss, or trauma.

Dr. Emily has the skills and expertise to provide bone grafting at Wojtowicz Dental, making it simple and convenient for you to restore your smile with dental implants.

What Are the Benefits of a Bone Grafting Procedure?

Bone grafting provides several advantages for your smile and oral health that you might not be aware of.

Implant Support

Bone grafting rebuilds bone structure so you can successfully support a tooth implant.

Facial Structure

Bone grafting restores the jawbone, providing stability for the scaffolding of your facial structure.

Jawbone Support

A strong jawbone supports your teeth, making chewing and eating easier and more efficient.

Oral Health

Understanding Bone Grafting

During bone grafting, Dr. Emily surgically fills the compromised spaces with bone taken from your body, a donor, or synthetic bone material. Over time, the biocompatible material integrates with your natural bone, rebuilding and strengthening your jawbone structure.

A bone graft takes about three to six months to heal completely, and then it is ready to support a dental implant.

Because of Dr. Emily’s extensive training, skills, and expertise, we can complete bone grafting and dental implant placement surgeries from start to finish at our Elroy, WI, dental office without the need for you to see a specialist. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Bone grafting might sound intimidating, but it's actually a remarkable dental procedure designed to restore and strengthen your jawbone, creating a solid foundation for dental implants or preventing further bone loss. Think of it like reinforcing the foundation of a house before building new structures.
 
Over time, tooth loss can cause significant changes in your jawbone. When a tooth is removed or missing, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate, much like a muscle that's no longer used. This bone loss can compromise your ability to receive dental implants or maintain the structural integrity of your facial features.

How Bone Grafting Improves Oral Health

Bone grafting in Elroy involves carefully placing specialized bone material into areas of deficiency. This material can come from several sources: your own body, a donor, synthetic materials, or mineral bone substitutes. The graft acts as a scaffold, encouraging your body to regenerate healthy, strong bone tissue. It provides your jawbone with a supportive framework that stimulates natural healing and bone growth. 
 
Patients might need bone grafting for various reasons, including preparing for dental implants, preserving bone after tooth extraction, addressing periodontal disease, or preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with significant bone loss. At Wojtowicz Dental, we use bone grafting to help patients restore their oral health and confidence.
