At O Dentistry, we recommend bone grafting when patients have insufficient bone volume in their jaw to support dental procedures, particularly dental implants. Bone loss commonly occurs after tooth extraction, advanced periodontal disease, trauma, or long-term tooth loss.
Dr. O carefully evaluates each patient's situation to determine if bone grafting is necessary. We typically recommend this procedure when:
- You're planning to receive dental implants, but lack adequate bone height or width
- A tooth extraction has left a socket that may collapse without preservation
- Periodontal disease has caused significant bone deterioration
- Trauma or infection has damaged the jawbone structure
Successful Support for Dental Implants in Phoenix
Bone grafting helps rebuild the foundation needed for successful dental restoration. The procedure involves placing bone graft material (which may be synthetic, from a donor, or another area of your body) into the area requiring additional bone volume. Over time, this material integrates with your natural bone, creating a solid foundation.
For many Phoenix residents, bone grafting has been the crucial preliminary step that made successful implant placement possible. The procedure is performed with appropriate anesthesia, and our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
If you're considering dental implants or have concerns about bone loss, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our Phoenix dental office. Dr. O can evaluate your specific needs and determine whether bone grafting would benefit your oral health and treatment outcomes. Contact our team at (602) 242-1729 to book an evaluation.
