Bone Grafting in Spokane, WA
Periodontal disease can have a severe impact on the health of the jaw bone, making it impossible to support a dental implant without additional treatment. If you are suffering from periodontal disease, our dentists may recommend bone grafting, or natural bone regeneration, to promote bone growth in the jaw. This specialized treatment allows the jaw bone to regenerate and regain enough strength to be able to support a dental implant.
Bone grafting procedure of significant importance.
Bone grafting is a medical procedure used to address issues with implant sites that do not have enough bone structure. This can be caused by previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. The bone for the graft can come from a tissue bank or from your own jaw, hip, or tibia. Sinus bone grafts are performed when bone needs to be replaced in the back of the upper jaw. Special membranes that dissolve under the gum may be used to ensure the success of the graft and promote bone regrowth, known as guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
Major bone grafts are often done to correct jaw defects from traumatic injuries, tumor surgery, or congenital abnormalities. The patient's own bone is typically used for these procedures, sourced from areas like the skull, hip, or lateral knee depending on the size needed. These surgeries are usually done in an operating room and require a hospital stay.
