Grafting

Grafting procedures are used to restore your bone to its previous form following tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. These procedures are often performed to enhance the foundation for an implant or to improve the overall aesthetics of your smile. Grafting can help regenerate lost bone and tissue, creating a stable foundation for dental restorations and improving oral health.

During a grafting procedure, your doctor will place graft material in the area where bone or tissue has been lost. This material encourages your body to regenerate the lost bone and tissue. Over time, your body will replace the graft material with new bone or tissue, restoring the area to its original form and function.

The recovery period for grafting can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and your individual healing process. Your doctor will provide specific instructions for post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and success of the graft.

Grafting is a highly effective procedure that can significantly improve your oral health and the success of future dental treatments. If you are in need of grafting, your doctor will discuss the procedure in detail and create a customized treatment plan to meet your needs.
