Has your jawbone shrunk because of periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss? Bone grafting in Antioch, California, can rebuild your jawbone’s height and volume to improve oral health and aesthetics. Simarro Brothers Dental Care combines the latest technologies with precision to achieve optimum outcomes for bone grafting. Whether you need to rebuild your jawbone to make you eligible for implants or other restorations, schedule an appointment with Drs. Nathan and Ryan Simarro for expert grafting services.
Bone grafting involves transplanting a healthy bone from another source to re-establish your jawbone’s height and volume. Bone grafts can be obtained from your body, human donors, animal sources, or synthetic materials. Your dentist will discuss the various options available with you and help determine the best way to meet your oral health needs.
One of the common reasons for jawbone degradation is tooth loss. When chewing and grinding, teeth provide functional stimulation, which triggers the jawbone to generate new bone cells to maintain its height and volume. When you lose your tooth and its root, this inactivity causes the jawbone to atrophy, losing its density.
The other reasons for jawbone loss include.
A stable bone is a prerequisite for placing a dental implant. A dental implant requires a sufficient jawbone to fuse with the implant for long-term stability and function. Oseointegration is a biological process that creates a strong foundation for implants to ensure they support one or more teeth.
Although bone grafting is a surgical procedure, our office has refined it to make it quick and seamless. After consultation, the dentist will precisely numb your gums with local anesthetics for a comfortable dental experience. If you need help to remain calm, talk to our dentist about sedation dentistry.
Once you are comfortable, the dentist will make a small incision on the gums to reveal the underlying bone. If your dental bone is from your own body, we’ll remove it from a suitable location and then insert it in the receded area. If we work with synthetic, donor, or animal grafts, we’ll omit the first step and immediately place the grafting material at the site with bone recession. The final step is to suture the surgical site to pave the way for healing. Over the next few months, your wound will heal, and the graft will fuse with the jawbone to become one structure.
