Rebuilding Bone Strength for a Healthier Smile

When the jawbone becomes too thin, weak, or has deteriorated after tooth loss, bone grafting helps restore its strength and structure. At Emmy Dental, we offer this reliable procedure to rebuild lost bone and support long-term oral health. Bone grafting provides the strong foundation needed to restore your smile’s function and appearance.

What is Bone Grafting?

Your jawbone depends on tooth roots to stay strong. When a tooth is lost and not replaced, that area of the bone gradually shrinks. Conditions like gum disease, infections, or trauma can also lead to bone loss.

Bone grafting involves placing special grafting material in areas where bone has weakened. This encourages your body to regenerate new bone tissue, creating a stable base for future restorations. It’s a safe, proven method that helps maintain your facial structure and preserve your oral health.

Types of Bone Grafts

Different grafting materials can be used depending on your needs:

Autografts: Bone taken from your own body for the most natural integration.
Allografts: Bone from a human donor that’s processed for complete safety.
Xenografts: Bone material from a safe animal source that supports natural bone growth.
Synthetic Grafts: Biocompatible materials designed to mimic natural bone structure.

Your dentist will determine the most suitable graft type to achieve optimal results.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is often recommended to strengthen areas affected by tooth loss, injury, or bone resorption. This procedure offers many long-term benefits, including:

Providing a strong base for dental restorations
Preserving your natural facial shape
Preventing further bone deterioration
Supporting lasting oral function and stability

By rebuilding your jawbone, bone grafting helps protect your smile’s foundation and overall health.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Bone grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. The grafting material is carefully placed into the targeted area, and your body gradually replaces it with natural bone tissue over time. Healing can take several months, but the result is a stronger, more stable jawbone ready for future treatments.

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help manage healing, and our team will monitor your progress closely to ensure success.
