Bone grafting is helpful in many situations. When a tooth is lost, there is a natural resorption process that results in less remaining bone.
Bone grafting at the time of an extraction, often referred to as a socket replacement graft can greatly minimize the normal resorptive process and set the stage for a future dental implant. In some situations, at the time of an extraction, an immediate implant can be placed and some bone grafting around the implant improves the healing.. We use a variety of bone grafting materials.
Bone grafting can also be used to add bone where bone has been previously lost or there is not enough remaining bone to support a dental implant. More extensive bone grafting is referred out to a periodontal or oral surgeon.
Most bone grafting to be successful is coordinated with a membrane, which is a material that is made of collagen which is the building block of tissue. The membrane covers and contains the bone grafting material and prevents the epithelium of the gum from proliferating while the bone graft heals.
