Dental Bone Grafting in Rockford, Dixon, Janesville, and Madison

Dental implants are one of the most effective and long-lasting options for replacing missing teeth. However, adequate, healthy jawbone tissue is needed to securely support the implant. Bone loss may result from periodontal disease, trauma, developmental conditions, or prolonged tooth loss.

When there is not enough bone available, dental bone grafting may be recommended. During this procedure, grafting material is placed in the affected area to encourage new bone growth and strengthen the jaw. Healing may take several months, depending on the size and location of the graft. Once sufficient bone has developed, the dental implant can be placed.

Grafting material may come from the patient’s own body, medically processed donor tissue, animal-derived tissue, or synthetic materials. The best option will depend on the patient’s needs and the extent of bone loss.

With over 60,000 dental surgeries performed and over 20,000 dental implants placed, you can be confident that you will receive high-quality care from established professionals that is designed to meet your unique needs.

Dental Bone Grafting Process Expectations

Prior to performing the dental bone grafting procedure, we will conduct an in-depth dental and medical health history review to determine the underlying reason why dental bone grafting is necessary. This process will include an examination of your bite and for any indications of loose teeth, bone loss, TMJ, oral cancer, or signs of periodontal disease.

Once the underlying cause has been identified and it is determined that dental bone grafting is the appropriate treatment option for you, the dental bone grafting procedure will begin with administration of a local anesthetic and/or sedation. Following this, an incision is made in your gum, which is folded back in order to remove infected gum tissue and smooth the surfaces of the teeth. Once the area is sufficiently clean, the graft is placed and then covered with a special membrane that is designed to facilitate the healing process and reduce the risk of bacteria affecting this area. Once properly positioned, the area is sutured shut, and the healing process can begin.

Following this procedure, it will be necessary to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the graft is fusing properly with the bone. Once this fusion is complete, you will be ready to schedule an appointment to have dental implants placed.

Aftercare Following Dental Bone Grafting

Following the dental bone grafting procedure, it is essential to follow these and any additional post-operative instructions provided by your periodontist to minimize risks and enjoy a fast recovery.

To reduce pain or discomfort, take the recommended dosage of prescribed painkillers and/or over-the-counter medication.
Avoid vigorous mouth rinsing and do not touch the wound.
Bleeding can be controlled using gauze.
To reduce swelling, apply an ice bag over the area for ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
Avoid intense physical activity and rest as much as possible for the first week.
Eat soft foods such as applesauce, yogurt, pudding, or soup and slowly reintroduce harder foods as the healing process progresses.

By following these instructions and continuing to keep your teeth and gums clean, you will enjoy a fast healing process and can return to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
