A bone graft is an oral surgery procedure that may be required if your jawbone has deteriorated and can no longer support teeth or dental implants. When you receive a bone graft, our dentist will transplant a piece of bone from another area of your jaw or body to your jawbone. Your jawbone will then grow together with the grafted tissue to create a stronger and more stable foundation for your teeth.
A sinus lift is a type of bone graft procedure that mainly focuses on restoring bone to the upper jaw to make room for a dental implant. To perform this procedure, all we do is gently lift your sinus membrane to add bone grafting material for you to have a new, healthy bone structure.
Our dentist may recommend a bone graft or a sinus lift procedure if your jawbone is not dense enough or thick enough to support your teeth. After a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth begins to resorb, or deteriorate, eventually leading to a loss of supporting bone. Bone grafting works to correct this deterioration so that you can receive an implant and regain your oral health.
Both a bone graft and sinus lift can help you regain a healthy mouth and smile. Contact us at 972-208-2457 to find out more about bone grafting in Plano, Texas, and schedule your consultation with Dr. Rudy Aldaragi.
