Why bone loss happens & how to treat it
Losing jawbone can happen for a few reasons, like after a tooth is pulled, from gum problems, accidents, or even wearing dentures for a long time. If you don’t have enough bone, getting dental implants can be tricky, and your face might even start to look different. That’s where bone grafting for dental implants in Groton comes in. It rebuilds the missing bone to make sure you have a solid base for implants and to keep your mouth healthy. We offer different types of dental bone grafts depending on what you need. If you just had a tooth out, we can do a procedure called socket preservation to keep the bone in place for a future implant. If your upper jaw needs a little extra height for implants, a sinus lift can help. For bigger bone loss, we can rebuild larger areas, often using bone from your own body.
When you come in for a chat, we’ll take detailed 3D pictures to see how much bone you’ve lost and figure out the best way to fix it. Whether the procedure is done in Groton or elsewhere, the steps are the same. We’ll gently place the material for your dental bone graft where it’s needed, and over time, it’ll fuse with your natural bone. Healing takes a few months, and then you’ll be ready for implants or other treatments. To help you heal faster and make the graft even more successful, we use PRP/PRF therapy, which uses your own body’s natural healing powers.
Who needs a dental bone graft?
Sinus lift
If you don’t have enough bone in your upper jaw for dental implants, a sinus lift can help. It gently lifts the sinus membrane, and we add bone grafting material to create a solid base for your implants.
Socket preservation
After a tooth extraction, we can preserve the socket. We place the material for the dental bone graft into the socket right away, which maintains the bone structure and sets you up for smoother implant placement later.
Major bone grafting
For significant bone loss from things like injuries, illness, or birth defects, we might need a major bone graft. This involves taking bone from another part of your body and using it to rebuild large areas of your jaw.
Smooth & precise soft tissue and dental bone grafting in Groton
A soft tissue graft is key for patients who need extra gum tissue around dental implants. Like implants that need strong bone, they also need healthy gum coverage for stability and long-term success. If the gums are too thin or receded, the implant can weaken over time. Soft tissue grafting reinforces and protects the implant site, which is why it’s sometimes done together with the dental bone graft. We take a small tissue sample, either from your palate or a donor, and place it where more gum coverage is needed. Over time, the graft fuses with the surrounding tissue, adding thickness and better support. Patients who get this treatment often have stronger, healthier gums, which helps their implants last longer. Sometimes, soft tissue grafting also fixes gum recession around natural teeth, improving oral health and appearance.
While soft tissue grafting usually happens with dental bone grafting in Groton, or implants, it can also be done alone for patients with gum recession. The healing is usually easy, with most patients only feeling mild discomfort that goes away in a few days. Once fully healed, the grafted tissue blends with the natural gums, making a healthier, more stable base for teeth and restorations.
What happens during bone grafting for dental implants?
Before surgery
First, we’ll examine your jaw using advanced 3D imaging, which helps us see exactly where you’ve lost bone. Then, we’ll determine the best grafting material for you and plan your procedure carefully. Depending on how much bone is missing, our doctors in Groton will also discuss the type of dental bone graft you need.
During surgery
To keep you comfortable, we’ll use local anesthesia or sedation during the bone graft. Our oral surgeon will then carefully place the material into the area that needs it. We’ll make sure it’s secure, and if needed, we’ll use a special membrane to help your bone heal and grow.
After surgery
Healing takes time, as your body naturally builds new, strong bone around the graft. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to check on your progress and make sure everything’s healing correctly. Depending on the type of bone grafting for dental implants, it might take a few months until you’re ready.
