Addressing Bone Loss
Bone loss in the facial and jaw regions can stem from diverse factors, including congenital anomalies or traumatic injuries. If you're grappling with jaw or facial bone loss, bone grafting emerges as a remedy to rejuvenate and strengthen these areas. Bone grafting frequently precedes dental implant placement.
Our distinguished team of oral surgeons stand ready to guide you through the journey of restoring your smile and oral well-being. Reach out to our office in Madison, WI to take the first step toward transforming your smile.
How Do Bone Grafts Work?
Bone grafting involves surgically introducing grafting material into targeted regions that need additional bone density. This material can be derived from a variety of sources including donated human tissue (allografts), animal tissue (xenografts), the patient's own body (autografts), or synthetic compounds (alloplastic grafts). Over time, the grafting material serves as a scaffold for new bone cell growth, resulting in fortified and revitalized bone structures.
Dental implants, acting as artificial tooth roots, create a sturdy foundation within the jaw bone. However, insufficient bone volume poses a challenge to successful implantation. Through bone grafting, patients pave the path toward heightened stability and longevity of dental implants, thereby reinstating both oral aesthetics and functionality.
Types of Anesthesia
To ensure your comfort, we offer several forms of anesthesia:
Tailored Bone Graft Treatments
During your consultation, our oral surgeons conduct an evaluation utilizing cutting-edge 3D scans. These scans furnish insights into your facial architecture, unearth concealed oral health issues, and inform the formulation of a treatment plan. For many dental implant candidates, a bone graft is a prerequisite to strengthen the implant site.
Ridge Augmentation
This procedure rejuvenates the alveolar ridge, improving its capacity to support dental implants by replenishing lost bone due to tooth loss.
Sinus Lift
Insufficient bone height in the upper jaw requires a sinus lift to create a robust foundation for dental implants, achieved by delicately elevating the sinus wall and introducing a bone graft.
Socket Preservation
Post-tooth extraction, socket preservation prevents bone loss and preserves socket dimensions, crucial for future implant success.
Major Bone Grafting
Addressing sizable skeletal defects stemming from trauma, congenital anomalies, or diseases calls for major bone grafting, often involving the patient's own bone harvested from donor sites. These intricate procedures are conducted by our adept oral surgeons in a hospital setting, ensuring optimal outcomes.
