Bone grafting is ideal for those seeking dental implants but are experiencing problems with low bone density.
If you are interested in obtaining dental implants but you have reduced bone density, help is available. Many people seeking dental work express concern after finding they no longer possess enough bone for implants. However, options are available if you are lacking in bone density. Don’t wait any longer. Start the process to regain your smile and self confidence. Schedule your exam today.
Bone grafting is a safe procedure and we can discuss your options in-depth with you before surgery takes place to ensure you’re receiving the appropriate type of treatment for your needs. You’ll normally be given a local anesthetic to reduce pain whilst the procedure is taking place and can opt for intravenous sedation if you need it.
Once the procedure is completed, you will be provided with antibiotics as well as medication for pain, if required. You will be advised not to consume specific foods to avoid putting pressure on the graft. You should be able to carry on with your day-to-day life as normal whilst the bone graft is healing. Once the grafted bone has fused or become a robust part of the existing bone, your implants will be placed.
Bone grafting is ideal for anyone wishing to add implants to their mouth, but does not currently have enough bone for them to be placed safely or securely. Contact us today to learn more about a bone grafting procedure.
