When having bone grafting for dental implants, there will be a healing period before dental implants can be placed. Healing after bone grafting will take at least four months, but it can be longer in some cases. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the graft so that an implant procedure can be performed once the ridge is ready to support an implant.
Although there can be some pain and discomfort in the days following bone grafting for dental implants, this usually subsides within the first week and there should be no pain or discomfort after two weeks. From here, the body takes control to manage bone grafting for dental implants.
The materials used for grafting provide a structural matrix to support new bone growth. Depending on the material used, the grafting site can also attract cells that adhere to the grafting material, helping to enhance and hasten the regenerative process.
With detailed consultations before bone grafting for dental implants, you’ll have all of the information you need and a road map for healing and recovery.
While ridge augmentation requires surgical intervention to trigger the process, rebuilding bone loss in gums naturally is the aim of the surgery. In rare cases, synthetic materials are used to stimulate bone regeneration. However, in most cases, the grafting material will be sourced from a human donor (allograft), an animal donor (xenograft), or the patient’s native bone (autograft).
Rebuilding bone loss in gums naturally can’t be achieved without the help of a surgical procedure. If you lose a tooth and don’t have a procedure for socket preservation or augmentation, you will lose bone density in the jaw. This can lead to changes in facial structure as well as the movement of surrounding teeth and potential long-term problems like additional tooth decay and loss.
A bone graft for implants will ensure that you are ready to get the best treatment with reliable dental implants that can last a lifetime. A bone graft for implants is recommended in cases where there is extensive deterioration and loss of bone on the alveolar ridge. A bone graft for implants will ensure that you’re a candidate for dental implants while increasing long-term success.
