Rebuild and Strengthen Your Jawbone for Implants

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for dental implants. At SmileOnImplants, we use advanced techniques to add bone material to areas with insufficient bone density. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone, promoting growth and stability. This process is essential for patients with bone loss due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, as it ensures the success and longevity of dental implants.

When Is Bone Grafting Necessary?

Bone grafting is necessary when there is insufficient jawbone density to support dental implants. This can occur due to bone resorption following tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma. Without adequate bone, implants may not properly integrate, leading to instability and failure. Bone grafting provides the necessary volume and density for successful implant placement by using graft materials that stimulate new bone growth. This ensures a strong foundation for implants, promoting their long-term success and enhancing overall oral health.

Types of Bone Grafting…

Socket Preservation

Socket preservation is performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone can quickly deteriorate, compromising future dental implant placement. During socket preservation, Dr. Poursh places bone graft material into the empty tooth socket, promoting new bone growth and maintaining the socket's structure. This procedure ensures that the jawbone remains strong and dense, providing a stable foundation for a future dental implant and preserving the natural contours of your jawline.

Sinus Lift

A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is used when the upper jawbone lacks sufficient height for dental implants, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. Over time, bone loss can cause the sinus cavity to expand, reducing the available bone for implant placement. In this scenario Dr. Poursh performs bone grafting in Burbank called a sinus lift by elevating the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material into the newly created space. This increases the height and volume of the upper jawbone, allowing for successful dental implant placement.

What to Expect From the Consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Poursh will conduct an evaluation of your oral health. This includes a detailed examination, X-rays, and possibly a CT scan to assess your jawbone density and determine the extent of bone loss. Dr. Poursh will explain the bone grafting process, the types of graft materials available, and how the procedure can benefit you. He will address any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring you are fully informed about the treatment.

Dr. Poursh will then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. You will also meet with our treatment coordinator to discuss costs, financing options, and scheduling. By the end of your consultation, you will have a clear understanding of the procedure for bone grafting in Burbank and how it can enhance the success of your dental implants.

What types of materials are used for dental bone grafts?

Dental bone grafts use various materials, including autografts (bone from your own body), allografts (donor bone), xenografts (animal bone, usually from cows), and synthetic options.

How long does it take for a bone graft to heal?

Healing generally takes 3 to 6 months. However, larger grafts may require more time before the bone is strong enough for dental implants.

Can I get a dental bone graft and implant at the same time?

In some cases, bone grafts and implants can be done simultaneously, depending on the severity of bone loss and the stability of the graft. The dentist will evaluate this on a case-by-case basis.

Will my bone graft last forever?

A successful bone graft can last indefinitely, provided the patient maintains good oral hygiene and follows post-procedure care. However, grafts can deteriorate if oral health isn’t maintained.

Why do I need a bone graft?

A bone graft is often necessary when there is insufficient jawbone to support a dental implant. This could be due to bone loss from tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting strengthens the area for a more secure implant placement.

My teeth suffered greatly for my lack of regular dental visits. I had several broken teeth and missing teeth. It was so bad that I didn’t want to go to a dentist due to sheer embarrassment. And smiling was something I never did. I was hopeless and smile-less until I lucked out and met Dr. Pourshirazi. [He told me] he was going to make me a new woman and give me my beautiful smile back. I was ecstatic. Today I grin, I laugh… Thank you Dr. Pourshirazi and all the staff for giving me my confidence back.
