DID YOU KNOW THAT BONE GRAFTS CAN COME FROM VARIOUS MATERIALS?

Dentist Westmont

Dentists graft different materials from the patient’s body, a donor, or even bovine to help patients rebuild their jaws. At your initial consultation at our Westmont dental office, we can help you decide which type of material is most suitable for you.

HOW IT WORKS

Bone grafting can add volume and density to your jaw, and here’s how our near Darien, IL, dentists complete this task:

BEFORE

Typically, bone grafts are the initial step in a comprehensive oral surgery treatment plan based on the patient’s health, age, and needs. At your initial consultation, Dr. Ahmed or Juned will help you decide if a bone graft is necessary and which type of material. Our team will ensure that you feel comfortable with local anesthetic and dental sedation on bone graft surgery day.

DURING

Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Mohammed makes a tiny incision in the gumline to have full access to the affected area of the jaw. Then, he or she will pack grafting granules into the surgical area and suture the gumline close.

AFTER

Eventually, the bone graft dental granules and natural jawbone become one and restrengthen and rejuvenate the jawbone. Expect a few weeks for recovery after bone graft tooth surgery. Our team members will guide you with personalized post-surgery instructions to ensure successful healing.
