Bone loss can affect the health and stability of your smile. At Smile Designers, we provide bone grafting in San Diego, CA to restore lost bone and support long-term oral health. Our experienced team delivers personalized care to help you achieve lasting results.
Your jawbone supports your teeth, maintains your facial structure, and allows you to chew and speak comfortably. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone gradually shrinks because it no longer receives stimulation from the tooth root. Over time, bone loss can affect your oral health and reduce your options for restorative treatment.
Bone grafting helps rebuild lost bone, preserve jawbone strength, and create a stable foundation for future tooth replacement. As explained by the Mayo Clinic's overview of dental implant surgery, a bone graft can rebuild the jawbone and provide the support needed for successful dental implant placement.
Bone grafting may be recommended when the jaw needs additional support before restorative treatment or to address bone loss.
Common reasons include:
After a comprehensive examination and digital imaging, our team will determine whether bone grafting is the right treatment for your needs.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation and digital imaging to determine the amount of bone loss and create a personalized treatment plan. During the procedure, grafting material is placed in the affected area, where it supports natural bone regeneration and strengthens the jaw over time.
Bone grafting may be performed on its own or alongside tooth extractions. Once healing is complete, many patients are ready to proceed with dental implants, all-on-4 implants, or all-on-6 implants.
Most patients recover comfortably following bone grafting. Mild swelling and tenderness are common during the first few days and can typically be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including recommendations for oral hygiene, dietary modifications, and activity during the healing period.
Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the procedure and each patient's healing response. Attending scheduled follow-up appointments allows us to monitor your progress and ensure the graft is healing as expected.
Bone grafting can help restore lost jawbone, improve oral health, and prepare your smile for future restorative treatment.
