Expert Dental Bone Grafting in Purcell, OK
If you lack sufficient natural bones in your mouth to support dental implants, a bone graft may be necessary. Dental bone grafting involves placing bone tissue in areas where bone has been lost, helping to restore strength and structure. The type of bone graft we recommend depends on the location and extent of the affected area.
Dental bone grafting is a safe, effective solution for patients with periodontal disease, injuries, or dental infections, providing the stability needed for long-term dental health.
-
Why is bone grafting needed before dental implants?
A tooth bone graft promotes new bone growth by replacing damaged or missing bone tissue. This procedure uses either natural bone or synthetic materials to help stimulate bone cells, creating a solid base for dental implants or other restorations.
-
How long does recovery take after a bone graft?
Dental bone grafting is typically an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day. Recovery varies but usually takes one to two months, during which the graft bonds with the existing bone to support further treatments.
-
Are there any risks associated with dental bone grafting?
Dental bone grafting is generally safe, with minimal risks. Your dentist may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection, and though pain is uncommon, you may receive medication to manage any discomfort. Our team will ensure you are well informed and comfortable throughout the process.
