Bone Grafting
Who is a good candidate for Bone Grafting?
- Dental Implant Candidates: Patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the jaw due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or trauma
- Tooth Extraction Sites: Bone grafting can be performed at the extraction site to preserve the bone structure, and prevent bone resorption.
- Traumatic Injuries: Patients who have suffered facial trauma or injuries to the jawbone
- Gum Disease: Bone grafting can be used to restore the damaged bone and provide a stable foundation for the remaining teeth.
- Ridge Augmentation: Patients with an insufficient ridge width or height in the jaw
- Sinus Lift: In cases where the sinus cavity encroaches upon the upper jawbone, a sinus lift procedure with bone grafting may be necessary.
- Facial Deformities or Deficiencies: Patients with congenital facial deformities or deficiencies
- Pathological Conditions: Patients with diseases or conditions, such as tumor resections or cyst removals
Bone grafting is a common process in oral surgeries, particularly in extractions and implant placement. At Sapphire Denture Clinic, we are careful to evaluate the need for various procedures carefully, making sure that each procedure is necessary, and outlining the best possible options for each patient’s needs. The process of bone grafting is no exception. 
What is a bone graft?
Bone graft is a synthetic material. Sometimes, your previously extracted teeth may be used to create the grafting material. Bone graft material is designed to slowly integrate with your natural bone. This process is called “osseointegration”. By using bone graft material to fill in the space left by a tooth extraction, around an implant, to smooth an alveolar ridge, or other procedures, the density of your bone is maintained. Your bone will stay strong, for better support of any remaining teeth, dentures, or implants, and it will be prevented from losing density and receding as quickly as it might without the benefit of the bone graft.The process and benefits of Bone Grafting
The use of bone grafts in an oral surgery is carefully assessed. Dr. Najar is meticulous about his assessment of the area he is working with, and at his disposal are the most advanced tools in 3D-imaging. With over 20 years of experience in oral surgery, and specializations in implantology, Dr. Najar is expertly precise in his placement of the bone graft material. The benefits of bone grafting extend further than maintaining bone density. With your bone density strong and healthy, implants are easier placed. Implants also serve to maintain bone density, by stimulating the bone to support it the same way natural teeth do. This means that implants can be used to substitute for your missing natural teeth, to achieve a full, natural-appearing smile.Be in the know
