Contact UsWhat 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.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
Dr. Phan and staff were excellent. Above and beyond, top notch quality. I have found my trusted local office.
The whole team at Elegant smile cares and take the time to explain with patience and knowledge. Their rates are fair and the space fabulous. I highly recommend Elegant smile.
I just had a fantastic experience with Dr. Phi Phan and his team! Dr. Phan is not only professional but also genuinely cares about his patients. The technician, Ricky, was super friendly and made the whole process easy and very informative. And I can’t say enough good things about Trisha, the intern. Her enthusiasm really added to the experience!
All of the staff are nice, soft spoken, and they treat the patients well!
The best dentist office experience ever. I'd say probably 3 big highlights of this place that allow it to truly stand above all those corporate dental groups (like a certain one I transferred from). First is the people, man they're some of the warmest I've met outside of perhaps my family and friends, special shoutouts to Dr. Phan (stellar doc with great advice and he's quite funny), Ricky (hygienist who explained everything in incredible detail), and Shonte (I felt like I was talking to my aunt, she asked me all about my day and the like). Second is the exam chair which doubles as a massage chair, thought about placing this point first because you literally get a massage during your dental cleaning. Third is the overhead TV that plays beautiful videos (of I think the California coast?) that you can watch while getting your cleaning. I would recommend this place to everyone, it just feels like a family (you're actually supporting a family business, husband/wife duo), and you feel taken care of here.
