Bone Graft Mandaue City

Bone Graft Tooth extraction, bone loss and use of removable appliances for a long period time often lead to a decrease in bone volume which makes it impossible to position dental implants in such a way that they can optimally support a dental prosthesis. Alveolar bone defects/deficiencies can be prevented and overcome by surgical placement of bone graft.Bone has a unique capacity to regenerate itself completely. Bone graft materials are used to facilitate bone formation within a given space by occupying that space and allowing bone growth to take place. They help maintain space under a barrier membrane for bone formation to occur. Goals of bone graft placement include: Restoration of bone ridge contour in the area of a missing toothCorrection/elimination of ridge defectsReduce postoperative infection, enhancing bone and soft tissue healingPrepare alveolar bone ridge for the placement of implants and other dental prosthesis (crowns, bridges, dentures)Bone Graft Surgery is a surgical procedure that involves placement of the bone graft material on a deficient space which is then covered with a membrane barrier and held in place with sutures. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours with an initial recovery period of two weeks. Natural bone regenerates for a period of 3-6 months, replacing the bone graft material completely, before a dental implant will be placed.

What are the advantages of having Dental Implants? Dental implants provide the best long-term solution to missing teeth. It can restore your smile, enhance your appearance, boost your self-confidence and improve your overall quality of life. 1. They are just like real teeth. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.    2. They are permanent. Dental implants are permanently fixed and fused to your jawbone. Unlike dentures, you don’t need to take them off.   3. They are very strong. Dental implants are made usually of titanium and zirconia. Both are very strong and durable biocompatible materials.   4. They last a very long time. Dental implants must be cared for just like real teeth. With good oral hygiene, proper care and maintenance, implants can last you a lifetime.   5. They preserve your bone. Dental implants preserve bone, prevent further bone loss and help restore your jawbone structure.   6. They do not damage other teeth. Unlike fixed dental bridges, dental implants do not need anchors or abutments. You don’t need to shave off healthy teeth to support an implant.   7. Very good success rate. Dental implants enjoy the highest success rate among titanium implants.
