Bone Grafting
Rebuild Your Smile's Foundation
Don't let insufficient jaw bone density hold you back from achieving the smile you deserve. At YJ OMS Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, we offer expert bone grafting procedures to restore your jaw bone and create a solid foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone to areas where your jaw has deteriorated or been lost. This added bone provides support and stability for dental implants, ensuring their long-term success. It can also be used to repair jaw defects caused by injury, disease, or tooth extraction.
Why Might You Need Bone Grafting?
- Dental Implant Placement: Sufficient bone density is crucial for the successful placement and integration of dental implants. If you've experienced bone loss due to tooth loss, gum disease, or other factors, bone grafting can create a solid base for your implants.
- Jaw bone Reconstruction: Bone grafting can repair jaw defects caused by trauma, infections, or congenital conditions. This helps restore proper jaw function and facial structure.
- Preserving Facial Aesthetics: Bone loss in the jaw can lead to a sunken or aged appearance. Bone grafting helps restore facial volume and maintain a youthful contour.
- Supporting Other Dental Procedures: Bone grafting may be necessary to support other dental procedures, such as sinus lifts or ridge augmentation, to create a stable base for restorations.
Types of Bone Grafts:
- Autograft: Bone taken from your own body, typically from the chin, hip, or tibia.
- Allograft: Bone sourced from a tissue bank (cadaver bone).
- Xenograft: Bone derived from an animal source, usually bovine (cow).
- Alloplast: Synthetic bone graft material.
- Growth Factors: Growth factors are synthetic proteins that actively stimulate the production of new bone tissue, accelerating the healing process.
Dr. Jun will determine the most suitable type of bone graft based on your individual needs and the complexity of the procedure.
Types of Anesthesia
We offer a variety of anesthetic options to make your experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. The method of sedation used depends on your preference, the nature of the procedure, and your medical history.
