Bone grafting is a specialized procedure used to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone in preparation for dental implants or to restore bone lost due to trauma or periodontal disease. At Birmingham Emergency Dental, our experienced team provides precise, safe bone grafting procedures to support long-term oral health and functionality.
Bone grafts are recommended when there is insufficient jawbone structure to support dental restorations or when bone has deteriorated due to injury or disease.
Successful implant placement requires adequate bone density. Grafting restores the bone volume needed for stable, long-lasting implants.
Advanced periodontitis can cause the jawbone to deteriorate. Bone grafting helps regenerate lost bone and prevent further damage.
After a tooth extraction, bone grafting may be performed to preserve the shape and volume of the jaw, particularly if an implant is planned in the future.
Our bone grafting process is carefully planned and carried out with your comfort in mind.
Consultation and Imaging
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to evaluate bone loss and determine the type and placement of the graft.
Anesthesia and Grafting
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort. Bone grafting material—either synthetic or donor bone—is placed in the targeted area to stimulate regeneration.
Stabilization and Healing
The graft is stabilized with a membrane and sutures. Over time, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong foundation.
Healing can take several months, depending on the size of the graft and your individual response. Our team will monitor your progress and provide detailed aftercare instructions for optimal recovery.
If you’ve been told you lack the bone density needed for dental implants or suffer from bone loss, bone grafting may be the solution. At Birmingham Emergency Dental, we offer expert care to rebuild your foundation for a healthier smile.
