Bone grafting is a vital procedure often performed after a surgical tooth extraction to ensure optimal oral health and prepare the site for future dental restorations. Maitland Square Dentistry provides expert bone grafting services to help patients maintain a strong and healthy jawbone structure. When a tooth is extracted, the bone that once supported it can begin to deteriorate, leading to potential issues such as shifting teeth, changes in facial structure and difficulties with dental implants.
The bone grafting process begins with a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. David Hazan. During this consultation, your oral health and bone structure will be thoroughly assessed to determine the best type of grafting material for your needs. Common materials used for bone grafting include autografts (using your bone), allografts (donor bone) and synthetic options.
During the bone grafting procedure, the graft material is carefully placed into the socket where the tooth was extracted. This graft acts as a scaffold, encouraging new bone growth and providing a stable foundation for future dental implants or other restorations. The healing process may take several months, during which the graft integrates with your natural bone, ensuring a strong and durable result.
We understand the importance of patient comfort and use advanced techniques to make the bone grafting procedure as smooth and pain-free as possible. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care and support throughout the entire process.
