DENTAL BONE GRAFTING

IN BUFFALO, NY

 

A dental bone graft may be needed during your oral surgery to supplement bone within the jaw and provide the mouth with extra support. Buffalo General Dentistry is proud to provide patients with high-quality preventative, cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry services in a warm, comfortable office setting. With more than 10 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?

A bone graft is a surgical procedure in which donor bone tissues are used to supplement the structures of the teeth and jaw to provide support where bone loss has occurred. A bone graft is traditionally done with banked cadaver bone. This bone material has become the new standard of care because it is safe, effective and readily available while reducing patient discomfort. 

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.

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 bone tissue will then be placed into your treatment area. Over the course of several months the bone graft will be replaced by your own bone, building or 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. The best way to find out how much your bone graft will cost is to come in for a private appointment with Dr. Daniel Jammal. In addition to working with most insurance providers, we are happy to offer flexible financing options through CareCredit®, Wells Fargo, and an in-house Smile Club Loyalty Plan.

I highly recommend Dr. Jammal. His approach is friendly and compassionate while having extensive knowledge in all aspects of dentistry. He takes the time to really understand the issue, find the right treatment plan and ensures the patient is comfortable. I was very impressed on how well versed and experienced he is with all of the new treatments and technologies of available. I’ve recommended Dr. Jammal to my parents and they too have never been so pleased with a dentist as they have been with Dr. Jammal.

What an amazing team-this office is the whole dang package and more! I’ve never been treated as one of the family by an office until this one. The hygienist is able to accommodate my remarkable sensitivity and still do a fantastic thorough job. The doctors assistant is so funny and put meat such ease during a usually high-anxiety procedure. Dr. Jammal really took the time to get to know me, again, treating me like more than just a patient—when I’m there, I’m a member of the office family. I could not be more lucky than I have been to find Dr. Jammal and the whole staff. If you’re looking for a dentist that can handle your dental anxiety, look no further—this is absolutely the place for you.

Great place with wonderful staff! Everyone is great there! Love my hygienist I have been going to her for years! Also, the dentist is professional and makes you feel comfortable. I decided to do a filling naturally without novocaine and it went great! Highly recommend!
