FAQs
What is bone grafting, and why is it necessary?
Bone grafting is a procedure that adds bone material to areas where the jawbone has weakened or deteriorated. It’s often necessary before dental implants to ensure there’s enough bone to support the implant securely.
Is bone grafting painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable, and any soreness can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does it take to heal after bone grafting?
Healing times vary depending on the size of the graft, but generally, it takes a few months for the new bone to fully integrate and be ready for implants or other dental work.
Are there any risks or complications with bone grafting?
While bone grafting is generally safe, potential risks include infection, graft rejection, or swelling. Our team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and will provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Can I get bone grafting if I have gum disease?
Active gum disease should be treated before bone grafting to ensure the best results. We’ll evaluate your oral health and create a customized treatment plan that addresses all underlying issues.
