Building Your Smile at Its Foundation with Bone Grafting
A strong jawbone is essential for supporting your dental implants and natural teeth. Unfortunately, you can lose your jawbone because of trauma, advanced gum disease, and prolonged tooth loss. The good news? Bone grafting in Sacramento, California, can rebuild your jawbone, making it healthy and stable enough for dental implants and lasting oral health. Whether you want a bone graft for a single gap or multiple spaces, you can count on Sac Dentist for precise, advanced care.
What is bone grafting?
A dental graft adds volume to the existing bone. It involves transplanting graft material to repair or rebuild depleted or resorbed areas of the jawbone. Typically used for dental implants, bone grafting promotes bone regeneration to create a solid foundation to support prosthetic or natural teeth.
There are several types of bone grafting techniques.
- Ridge augmentation: This surgical procedure restores the natural contour of your jawbone that may have been lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, or disease. It rebuilds the resorbed area to create enough bone volume for a future dental implant and improve aesthetics.
- Socket preservation: Alveolar ridge preservation is a bone graft done immediately after a tooth extraction to fill the empty socket with grafting material. After dental extraction, the surrounding bone can shrink or deteriorate quickly. Socket preservation maintains the socket’s shape and prevents bone loss, making your jawbone future-ready for dental implants or other restorations.
- Sinus lift: This procedure adds a bone graft to the upper jaw, specifically in the area of the premolars and molars. A sinus lift elevates the sinus membrane and places bone beneath it to support dental implants.
Whatever the grafting technique you need, you can trust Dr. Steven Phan and his team for superior outcomes. We combine advanced technology like 3D scans with technical excellence to administer even the most complex grafting techniques with care and precision.
