What Is Bone Grafting?

The strength of your jawbone is important to your total oral health. If your jawbone is weakened from physical trauma or missing teeth, you may need to get a bone graft so your jaw can properly hold both your natural teeth and dental implants. Bone grafting helps to strengthen and build up your jawbone until it's dense enough to support an implant. At Elegant Smiles, bone grafting is used to strengthen your jawbone before dental implant surgery to replace missing or weak teeth. Plan a consultation at our Las Vegas, NV office to learn more about bone graft surgery.

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

Bone graft surgery rebuilds the jaw so it can support a dental implant; however, you have to be willing to commit time to the process. Bone grafting may require several months to complete. As the result, you will have a stronger jawbone that will not only support your dental implant, but also your natural teeth for better overall oral health. Bone grafting is often done in conjunction with a dental extraction. Once the tooth has been removed, the socket is cleaned out to clear debris and infection. The prepared graft will be placed and a “bandage” called a membrane will be placed over it. Over the following three to four months, the graft should heal and integrate with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this time, it is critical to have a good home oral care routine with brushing and flossing along with any products recommended by our team.

This is the best dentist money can buy hands down. I can tell you the team work is dynamic and the energy is so dope. I can also say this is a very honest dentist. Before I was introduced to this office I had a cavity and a few different dentist searching for the right one, most said I needed a root canal, and I found Elegant smiles, the Doc said you don't need a root canal this tooth can be fixed simple I got you. I was shocked, and sold on the honesty. My tooth is still in great condition thanks to Doc. They're perfectionist taking quality time for each patient. There is no wait time, your seen immediately upon arrival. I been sold for 3 years now and I have not looked back. I recommend 100%

Finding Elegant Smile has been such a gift as I have always feared dental offices… The beautiful, clean atmosphere , bright and pleasant… To the sweet staff, every single one of them… Shantae at the front desk going above and beyond to assist me with insurance issues to Dr. Huynh who is such a sweet , patient artist at what she does… ! Determined to perfect to your satisfaction ! then onto Dr. Finn, who was so gentle with a dreaded procedure that turned out to be Pain-free and not scary as he explained everything along the way, and it truly took the fear out of the process, I am so grateful to have found Elegant Smile and must say it's my first experience not dreading an upcoming dental appointment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Bone Grafting FAQs

Does getting a bone graft hurt?

Bone grafts are performed while patients are sedated. This helps to prevent discomfort during the actual procedure. Overall, you should not feel any pain throughout the duration of the bone graft.

What is recovery like?

Recovery from a bone graft procedure is fairly quick. You should feel more normal and pain-free within a matter of 2 weeks. However, total healing will take anywhere from 3 — 9 months, depending on the type and location of the graft.

Does a bone graft help with periodontal disease?

If you need a bone graft, it's likely you have some missing bone structure. Bone grafts can help new bone to grow where bone had been destroyed by periodontal disease. Contact Elegant Smiles to find out more.
