Bone Grafting

Even a single missing tooth can cause the jawbone to begin to deteriorate, leaving you ineligible for dental implants.

Bone grafting in Los Algodones with the experienced team at Marietta Dental Care can help restore your smile.

Explore this beneficial treatment and how it can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

How Can Bone Grafting Help Me?

The jawbone relies on the stimulation tooth roots provide to remain strong and healthy. When you lose a tooth, the jaw no longer has that stimulation, and it can begin to atrophy. Dental implants can stop and prevent this issue. However, existing bone loss can make you ineligible for dental implants, as the implants need sufficient bone material to fuse to.

Bone grafting builds back the jaw, allowing you to qualify for life-changing dental implant placement. While All-on-4 dental implants can allow many patients with mild-to-moderate bone loss to undergo implant placement without preparatory treatment, bone grafts are often required for patients with more severe bone loss or those with facial trauma.

Take a Look at How Bone Graft Surgery Is Performed

Grafts are placed in areas of bone loss to build up the jawbone, improving the health and appearance of your smile and facial features. This new bone can come from the patient's own body, a donor, or a synthetic, biocompatible material.  

Bone Grafting Surgery Timeline

Consultation

You will first have a consultation with one of our dentists at our office in Tijuana or Los Algodones, Mexico, to determine if bone grafting is the right dental treatment for you.

Anesthesia 

On the day of your surgery, your dentist will thoroughly numb the area. We also offer sedation dentistry. Our IV sedation is administered by a certified anesthesiologist to ensure your comfort and safety. 

Graft Placement

Once you are ready, your dentist will make incisions in the gum to access the bone. The bone grafts are placed and secured in the areas of bone loss, and the incisions closed with sutures.

Healing and Implant Placement

In some cases, dental implants or an All-on-4 denture can be placed the same day as bone grafting, but many cases require a healing period of about three to six months before dental implant placement.
