Bone Loss Treatment in Adrian, MI
Bone grafting is a procedure that helps strengthen and rebuild the jawbone. It is often recommended when there is not enough healthy bone to support a dental implant or when bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury. By restoring the foundation of the jaw, bone grafting creates the stability needed for future treatments and helps maintain facial structure.
During the procedure, bone material is added to the weakened area of the jaw. Over time, the body naturally integrates this material, creating new, stronger bone. This process not only prepares the jaw for dental implants but also helps prevent further bone loss.
Bone grafting is a routine treatment, and most patients experience a smooth recovery with proper care. The procedure is customized to each patient’s needs, and the amount of healing time depends on the size and location of the graft.
If you have been told you are not a candidate for dental implants because of bone loss, bone grafting may make it possible at Hall Family Dentistry. It is a safe and effective way to restore a strong foundation for your smile and overall oral health. To learn more, just give us a call at (517) 263-6100.
