Dental implants are a leading solution for missing teeth. Because implants are surgically placed into the bone, there must be enough bone to anchor them securely. If not, bone grafting may be recommended to provide proper support.
Bone grafting is a process whereby the dentist surgically attaches bone material from the patient or a donor source to the site where the bone is needed. As the healing begins, the existing bone will naturally begin to fuse with the grafted bone, forming a stronger overall amount of bone. In time, the bone should be sturdy enough to support the titanium post of a dental implant.
The procedure is done under anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, similar to a tooth extraction. Before you leave, we’ll review aftercare instructions and may prescribe medication to ease discomfort and prevent infection. Recovery time varies—from a few weeks to several months—depending on the graft size and healing progress.
