Bone-based Foundation for Sturdy Dental Implants Success
Hey There!
Need some bone support for those dental implants? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Lansdowne Family Dental provides advanced bone grafting procedures for patients in Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, and Lansdowne who need additional bone support before getting dental implants.
What's a Dental Implant Bone Graft?
Simply put, a dental implant bone graft is a surgical procedure that reinforces your jawbone when it's too weak to support dental implants. Loss of jawbone density can occur due to various factors such as tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma.
Types of Bone Grafts
Here's a quick rundown of four common types of dental bone grafts:
- Autografts: These involve using your own bone, typically harvested from another part of your body.
- Allografts: These grafts are sourced from a human tissue bank.
- Xenografts: These come from animal sources, often bovine.
- Alloplasts: These are synthetic materials designed to mimic natural bone.
The choice of graft depends on factors such as your condition, the extent of bone loss, and personal preference.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
The main advantage of a bone graft is it creates a stable foundation for your dental implants, enhancing their functionality and longevity. Other benefits include:
- Improved aesthetic outcome
- Reduced risk of implant failure
Who Needs a Bone Graft?
Anyone experiencing jawbone loss due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma may need a bone graft before getting dental implants.
Bone Grafting Procedure
The procedure usually involves:
- Preparation: Initial examination and imaging to assess the extent of bone loss.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or sedation options for your comfort.
- Grafting: The selected bone graft material is placed in the deficient area.
- Healing: Several months of healing allow the graft to integrate with your existing bone.
Post-surgery, regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for successful healing and graft integration. Once healed, our experts at Lansdowne Family Dental can help you with the implant placement.
Remember, each patient's case is unique. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine if you're a suitable candidate for a bone graft and dental implants. So, why wait? Schedule a consultation today and take a step towards restoring your smile! 😎
