WHAT IS BONE GRAFTING?
When your jawbone is weakened from missing teeth or physical trauma, a bone graft could help to assist your jaw. A bone graft can help you properly hold any remaining natural teeth and your dental implants. Bone grafting, also known as osseous surgery, helps to augment and rebuild your jawbone so it is stable enough to hold an implant. At Sunshine Dental, osseous surgery is performed to strengthen your jaw before implant surgery to replace missing or weak teeth. Plan a consultation with our team in Corona, CA to learn more about surgical bone grafts.
WHAT IS RECOVERY FROM DENTAL BONE GRAFTS LIKE?
Recovery after a bone graft varies from person to person, but within six months, the graft should bond with your jaw (osseointegration). During this time, a proper oral care routine of brushing and flossing is important. You may also have additional products recommended by our Corona, CA dentist, like antibiotics or pain medication for any inflammation or discomfort experienced after your procedure. Before dental implant placement, our team at Sunshine Dental will check your healing and decide when it is best to move forward.
