Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a specialized dental procedure offered at Harmony Dental of Sherman Oaks to restore lost bone tissue in the jaw. This procedure is commonly performed in preparation for dental implant placement or to address bone loss resulting from trauma, periodontal disease, or tooth extractions.
The Bone Grafting Process
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding bone may start to deteriorate over time. Without adequate bone support, dental implants may not have a stable foundation for successful integration. Bone grafting involves the placement of bone or bone-like materials in the affected area to stimulate new bone growth and create a strong base for dental implants.
Post-Procedure
At Harmony Dental of Sherman Oaks, our experienced dental professionals are highly skilled in performing bone grafting procedures. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. The grafting material is carefully selected based on each patient’s unique needs, and it may include autogenous bone (from the patient’s own body), allografts (from a human donor), xenografts (from animals), or synthetic grafts.
During the procedure, the grafting material is placed in the targeted area, and the site is then sutured to promote healing. Over time, the graft material is integrated with the patient’s natural bone, creating a solid foundation for dental implant placement or preserving the jawbone’s structural integrity.
