After a tooth loss, the surrounding bone almost always deteriorates, decreasing in width, height and density and this process starts almost immediately. The bone that used to surround a lost tooth resorbs as time passes. If you want a dental implant but don't have enough bone to support it then the solution is Bone Grafting.
It is a minor surgical procedure done in the dental office, to regenerate a new bone to hold the teeth or implants. A small incision is made in the gums to expose the underlying bone and the grafting material is then placed. Your body will eventually absorb the grafting material, which will be replaced by your own new bone.
Bone grafting material is available from a variety of sources and is used to preserve or enhance bone for dental implants. All of these bone grafting materials have been well researched. It comes in a variety of forms: powder, granules, putty, or even a gel that can be injected through a syringe.
Though you will soon feel completely normal, it may take your body a few months for bone maturation and to receive your dental implant. Healing progresses over time, resulting in the desired outcome: an ideal support for replacement teeth that look great and will last a lifetime.
Do not worry, being specialists we will inform and advise you about the best grafts suitable for your individual case.
