What Is a Bone Graft and Why Is It Necessary for Some Surgeries?
When a tooth is lost, the bone that once supported it begins to degrade and shrink due to the lack of stimulation. This can affect both facial aesthetics and the ability to place a dental implant in the future. In such cases, a bone graft can be the best solution to restore lost bone volume.
At Dental Artistry, we want you to understand the purpose and importance of a bone graft so you can make informed decisions about your treatment.
🦷 What Is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a surgical procedure where bone material (natural or synthetic) is placed in an area where the bone has diminished. The goal is to regenerate lost bone, providing a solid and stable foundation for future dental treatments, especially implants.
🌟 Why Is a Bone Graft Necessary?
1. Bone Loss After Tooth Extraction:
After losing a tooth, the alveolar bone begins to resorb.
This can make it difficult to place a dental implant later.
The graft restores bone volume, allowing for a safe and stable implant placement.
✅ Benefits of a Bone Graft:
Improves implant stability.
Preserves facial structure, preventing bone collapse.
Restores chewing function by enabling prosthesis placement.
Prevents aesthetic issues related to bone loss.
