Improve Jawbone Health & Reclaim Your Smile

We know how important it is to have a fully functioning set of teeth. However, bone grafts are often a necessary procedure when you don’t have a strong foundation for your implants. If you have allowed a long time to pass after experiencing tooth loss, you will have suffered bone loss in your jaw. Here is how a bone grafting procedure works:

  • Dr. Hanna will place a small amount of bone material – either yours, synthetic bone, or bone from a donor – into the areas of your jaw where it is weak.
  • You will receive a computer-assisted anesthetic that numbs you so you won’t feel any discomfort.
  • Afterward, your own body gets to work. It will take time for your jawbone to grow enough to be prepared for the implant procedure, as well as time for it to fully heal.
  • Once you have a good foundation for implants, Dr. Hanna will work with you on the next steps for getting your dental implants.

You don’t need to worry when you come to our dental office for your bone grafting in Kalamazoo. Dr. Hanna has extensive experience improving the jaw health of patients and is a member of Vedder Society of Crown and Bridge Prosthodontics. Call us today at 269-349-3203 to schedule an appointment and get your smile back.

FAQs

What is a bone graft?
A bone graft is basically filling in or building up a thin or weak jawbone. A bone graft can fill space left after an extraction, or we can use it to boost the strength of a jawbone battling an infection brought on by gum disease. Your dentist will simply place material along your bone that will encourage new bone growth. While the procedure itself is quick, it will take several months for your bone to respond and heal.
We numb your mouth with local anesthesia before your grafting procedure, so you shouldn’t feel a thing during treatment. You can also elect to receive sedation to make you less aware of your surroundings while we work. Any discomfort following your procedure can typically be controlled by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Bone grafts are safe when they are performed by a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Hanna. Dentists need training in this procedure and must do the proper screening before recommending it. Even so, it is not a complex procedure, and it’s commonplace at our office. We can discuss any possible side effects with you during the planning stages.
