Dental Bone Graft in Palm Desert, CA

Dental Bone Grafting Services

You may need a dental bone graft if you have jaw bone loss due to disease, injury, illness, or degeneration. Dental bone grafting can reduce your risk of facial deformity, tooth loss, pain and discomfort, and other chronic issues. Fatemeh Hadjian, D.D.S., P.A., and her team specialize in dental bone grafting in Palm Desert, CA. We may recommend a bone replacement graft for ridge preservation, to treat or prevent facial deformity, or if your bone loss is putting your teeth at risk. Call us today to schedule a consultation for jaw bone grafting.

What Is a Bone Graft?

A bone graft is a synthetic or natural graft that adds volume and strength to your jaw when bone loss has occurred due to injury, illness, disease, or degeneration. We can take a bone graft from one area of your body and place it in your jaw, or we can acquire natural or synthetic bone graft material from an outside source. When the bone graft is placed, it allows your natural bone tissue to regenerate and grow on a healthy foundation.

When & Why You May Need Bone Grafting

Anyone who experiences bone loss in their jaw may be a good candidate for bone grafting. We may recommend jaw bone grafting when:

● You have had a tooth extracted and won’t have it replaced for a long time.
● We are preparing you for a dental implant procedure.
● We are preparing you for dentures.
● You have lost bone due to periodontal disease or another illness.
● You have lost bone due to a degenerative condition, injury, or trauma.

Without a dental bone graft, you risk shifting or misalignment of your teeth and temporary or permanent facial disfigurement.

The Jaw Bone Grafting Process

Before we recommend bone graft surgery, we will do a complete examination to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and jaw. We will take dental x-rays and discuss your health history, including current illnesses and injuries, and past illnesses, injuries, and surgeries. We will then review your treatment options and fully explain what happens before, during, and after bone graft surgery and the dental bone graft healing stages. During bone graft surgery, we will use a local anesthetic to numb the area and make a small incision into your gums. We will clean and disinfect the area and add the bone graft material. We may use a bone graft membrane to protect the area and facilitate healing. We will close the incision with stitches. After the procedure, you may have pain, discomfort, swelling, and bruising. We recommend you have someone drive you home, take a few days off work, and avoid strenuous activity or exercise. We may prescribe antibiotics and recommend over-the-counter pain relievers.

Protecting Your Health During Bone Graft Healing Stages

Your bone graft may cause a few days of discomfort, and you will likely feel normal after one or two weeks. In general, bone grafts may take three to nine months to heal completely. How long a bone graft takes to heal may depend on your age, overall health, the extent of the procedure, the amount of bone loss, and your commitment to a healthy lifestyle after the surgery. You should follow all of our aftercare instructions carefully, and avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, participating in strenuous activities, and chewing hard or sticky foods.
