Bone grafting procedures are much more straightforward than most patients think. When a patient consults with a implant dentist about teeth implant treatment, he or she will first assess the density of bone in the patients jaw. If it is found that there is not enough bone to continue with dental implant treatment, the implant dentist may advise a bone graft procedure. Next, the implant dentist will discuss different types of bone grafts with the patient, before deciding on the most suitable one. Once this has been decided upon, the bone graft procedure will be performed. Below is a brief outline of the treatment: First, the gum at the site of the bone graft is cut, to create a flap of skin.After exposing the jawbone, the bone graft material is placed onto the site.This bone graft material is covered with a protective membrane to protect the bone from germs, and ensure that the bone heals properly. Finally, the gum flap is replaced and carefully sutured. After it is determined that the site of the bone graft has fully healed, the implant dentist may begin placing dental implants. Also known as teeth implants, these dental implants usually require an additional healing period of around 3-6 months.
