What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing or weakened bone in the jaw with new
material — either your own bone, synthetic bone, or donor material. This process encourages
natural regeneration, strengthening the area for future dental work such as dental implants or
tooth extractions when necessary.
At Aglow Dental Studio, we use modern techniques and safe materials to ensure optimal results
and faster recovery.
When Is Bone Grafting Recommended?
You might need bone grafting if:
- Tooth loss has led to bone deterioration
- Periodontal (gum) disease caused bone resorption
- You require extra bone support for implant placement
- An injury or infection damaged your jawbone
- You are planning reconstructive oral surgery
Dr. Ahanor will use advanced diagnostics, including 3D CT scanning, to evaluate your jaw’s condition before recommending treatment.
Types of Bone Grafts Offered at Aglow Dental Studio
- Socket Preservation: Done immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
- Ridge Augmentation: Rebuilds the natural contour of the jaw for future prosthetics.
- Sinus Lift: Adds bone to the upper jaw, often required before upper molar implants.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring the highest standard of care.
What to Expect During a Bone Grafting Procedure
- Dr. Ahanor will numb the area to keep you comfortable.
- Bone graft material is placed at the site needing restoration.
- The area is secured and allowed to heal over several months, during which the new bone integrates with your existing jawbone.
After healing, you may move forward with procedures such as restorative dentistry or cosmetic dentistry based on your goals.
