Bone Grafting
Restore Bone Health
Bone loss in the face and jaw can arise from various causes, including congenital issues or facial injuries. If you're facing bone loss, bone grafting might be a viable solution to restore and strengthen these areas. It’s also a common preparatory step before placing dental implants.
At Alpine Surgical Arts - Oral & Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Arman Haghighi, Dr. Brian Rowan, and Dr. Syrus Haghighi bring their extensive expertise to help you reclaim your smile and oral health. We invite you to reach out to our Boise, ID, or Meridian, ID, offices to schedule your consultation today.
How Bone Grafting Works
Bone grafting is a surgical technique designed to introduce new bone material into areas where bone growth is needed. This material can come from several sources, including:
- Allografts: Donated human tissue
- Xenografts: Animal tissue
- Autografts: Bone from the patient's own body
- Alloplastic Grafts: Synthetic materials
Once the graft is placed, the body's natural processes will eventually replace the graft with new bone, creating a stronger and healthier bone structure. Bone grafting is particularly crucial for patients undergoing dental implant procedures. Adequate bone is essential for successful implant placement, and a bone graft can enhance the stability and durability of the implants, ensuring optimal oral and facial function.
Your Anesthesia Options
Depending on your procedure, you will receive one of the following forms of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Types of Bone Grafting Procedures
During your consultation, our oral surgeons will use advanced 3D imaging to thoroughly evaluate your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan. This assessment will determine the most suitable bone grafting approach for your needs.
Ridge Augmentation
This procedure rebuilds the alveolar ridge—the bone structure that supports the teeth. By adding bone to this area, ridge augmentation provides a solid base for future dental implants.
Sinus Lift
When there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw for implants, a sinus lift procedure can be performed. This involves gently lifting the sinus wall and inserting a bone graft to create a robust foundation for implants.
Socket Preservation
After a tooth extraction, socket preservation helps maintain the bone’s size and shape. This procedure prevents bone loss and is essential for ensuring that the area remains suitable for future implant placement.
Major Bone Grafting
For extensive skeletal defects resulting from trauma, congenital issues, or diseases, major bone grafting may be necessary. This type of grafting often involves harvesting bone from donor sites such as the skull, knee, or hip and is typically performed in a hospital setting by our skilled oral surgeons.
