What patients in San Carlos, CA need to know about dental bone grafts

What Are Bone Grafts San Carlos

If you are considering dental implants for tooth loss, you probably already know that some patients need to undergo dental work to prepare the mouth for the restoration. For dental implants to be successful, we may recommend a bone graft. At Peninsula Dental Implant Center, Dr. Gupta and her team have helped many patients enjoy renewed confidence and a restored smile with dental implants.

What are bone grafts and why do I need them?

To be properly supported, dental implants require sufficient bone density. When the jawbone has deteriorated, often due to missing teeth, patients may require a bone graft.

The tooth root is responsible for stimulating the jawbone. When tooth loss occurs, the bone lacks stimulation from the root and will deteriorate. Patients who have experienced tooth loss for several years without restoration often need bone grafts.

The procedure involves the use of a bone grafting material that is added to the jawbone to stimulate growth. After the procedure, the bone will begin to regenerate and become dense enough to support a dental implant.

Bone grafts improve the success of dental implants

Patients who have long suffered from missing teeth will benefit from bone grafts. The procedure allows the implants to be successful and long-lasting.
