Bone loss can weaken the jaw and affect future dental treatment options. At Cranberry Dental Arts, we offer bone grafting in Cranberry Township, PA to help restore lost bone and support long-term oral health. This procedure is commonly recommended before dental implant treatment or after significant bone loss.
Bone grafting is a procedure that promotes new bone growth in areas where bone volume or density has been lost. During treatment, grafting material is placed in the affected area to encourage the body's natural healing process.
As the area heals, new bone develops around the grafting material, helping restore the strength and structure of the jaw. Dental bone grafting is often recommended before dental implant placement, after tooth extraction, or to address bone loss caused by gum disease.
Bone loss often develops gradually and may not be noticeable without a professional evaluation. A bone graft may be recommended for patients who:
A comprehensive examination and diagnostic imaging can help determine whether bone grafting is appropriate for your needs.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and digital imaging to assess bone loss. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is created.
Grafting material is carefully placed in the targeted area to support new bone growth. The materials and techniques used depend on each patient's needs.
The graft integrates with the surrounding bone as the area heals. Follow-up visits allow the dental team to monitor healing and bone development.
Bone grafting is often recommended before dental implant treatment when there is insufficient bone support. Rebuilding lost bone helps create a stable foundation for implant placement. This can improve implant stability and allow more patients to qualify for treatment.
Recovery following bone grafting is generally straightforward. Mild swelling, tenderness, and temporary discomfort are common and typically improve within a few days.
Following post-operative instructions is important for successful healing. Patients should maintain good oral hygiene, attend scheduled follow-up appointments, and follow any dietary recommendations provided by the dental team.
Because bone regeneration takes time, the treated area may require several months to fully heal before additional restorative treatment can be completed.
