Grafting Bone
Those who have worn dentures for years are likely to have suffered bone loss. This does not mean you are unable to receive dental implants; you can still have successful implant surgery through a clinically proven procedure called bone grafting.
Bone loss is bad news, not only for your teeth, but also for the facial structure. If a tooth is lost and not quickly replaced with a dental implant, over time the bone behind it will recede and give the face a sunken appearance. Bone grafts revitalise and rejuvenate the face while providing the best possible foundation for implant treatment.
- Bone grafts can be sourced from your jaw or hips or more commonly its sourced from cow's and pig's processed bone proteins or other synthetic materials.
- Our dentist will insert these material expertly into your jaw. Your bone cells will proliferate into the graft material and over time will make new bone.
- Once healed, the implant site will be as strong as natural bone and you'll be ready for implants.
