Our team provides personalized treatment plans to help patients restore their oral health and achieve long-lasting smile results. With more than 15 years of experience, Dr. Daniel Jammal is happy to offer bone grafts to patients in Amherst and the neighboring communities of Buffalo, NY.
What is Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a procedure that adds donor bone particles to areas of the jaw where bone has been lost or is insufficient. Bone grafting material has a sand-like texture. This procedure uses the donor bone particles to help support new bone growth, restore jawbone structure, and create a stronger foundation for dental implants. Bone grafting may be recommended for patients who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury.
How Do I Know If I Need a Bone Graft?
Dr. Jammal and his team may recommend a bone graft for the following reasons:
- You’re receiving a dental implant. Oftentimes, if a tooth is missing and needs to be replaced with a dental implant, a bone graft is needed to create a strong base for the implant.
- You’re struggling with gum disease. Gum disease doesn’t just affect the gums – it also affects the integrity of the teeth. Patients with gum disease may need a bone graft to supplement tooth loss/ bone loss due to the effects of gum disease.
- You’re experiencing bone loss. Bone grafts are used to supplement the bone tissues in any structure of the mouth, including the jaw. If you’re experiencing bone loss or tooth loss due to age or disease, a bone graft can be used to help support these structures.
What Can I Expect During My Bone Grafting Procedure?
Your bone graft will be performed by Dr. Jammal and his expert dental team in our comfortable office. Before your bone graft begins, Dr. Jammal will administer an anesthetic to your treatment area. Once the area is numb, Dr. Jammal will then begin to thoroughly clean your treatment area. Synthetic or natural donor bone particles will then be placed into your treatment area. Over the course of several months the bone graft will integrate with your natural bone, building up and maintaining the previously deficient site.
How Much Does Bone Grafting Cost?
The cost of your bone graft will vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to help you achieve your healthiest smile.
