Dental Bone Grafting Croydon | The Fine Tooth Company

Dental Bone Grafting in Croydon

Dental Bone Grafting rebuilds bone tissue that may have degenerated.

Dental bone grafting is an oral surgical procedure used to coerce a patient’s body into rebuilding bone tissue that may have degenerated – it is usually done prior to treatments such as dental implants.

After the loss of one or more teeth the jawbone where the missing teeth are starts to wear away and deteriorate this would make it unsuitable for dental implants. As a result of this degeneration, a dental bone graft may be required prior to dental implant surgery in order to ensure the bone area is ready for the implant.

At The Fine Tooth Company, we have an in-house maxillofacial surgeon who is an expert at performing the dental bone grafting procedure. Our dentists and maxillofacial surgeon will assess your teeth and determine the best treatment option for you. Once the surgery is complete our surgeons will provide you with an aftercare strategy and advice for speedy recovery.

I've been seeing Dr. Gould for over 20 years, and I genuinely look forward to my bi-annual checkup. His expertise in dentistry is top-notch, and the care he shows towards his patients is unmatched. I'd be extremely confident that the qualities I've listed would also be seen with his fellow dentists at The Fine Tooth Company.

FAQ's

What is dental bone grafting and why is it necessary?

Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure that helps rebuild bone tissue that may have deteriorated due to tooth loss or other factors. It is often necessary before dental implant surgery to ensure that the jawbone is strong and dense enough to support the implants.

How long does the bone grafting procedure take?

The duration of the bone grafting procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Generally, the procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. However, your dentist or maxillofacial surgeon will provide a more accurate estimate during your consultation.

Is dental bone grafting painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the bone grafting procedure because it is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. After the surgery, some pain and swelling are expected, but these symptoms can be managed with prescribed pain medications and following post-operative care instructions.

What can I expect during the recovery period after a bone graft?

Recovery from a dental bone graft typically involves some discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and ice packs. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including dietary restrictions, oral hygiene tips, and follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process.

Are there any risks or complications associated with dental bone grafting?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with dental bone grafting. These may include infection, graft rejection, or issues with wound healing. However, these complications are rare, and your dental team will take all necessary precautions to minimise risks.

How long do I need to wait after a bone graft before getting dental implants?

The healing time after a dental bone graft can vary, but it generally takes about 3 to 6 months for the graft to integrate with the existing bone. Once the graft has fully healed, your dentist will assess the area to ensure it is ready for dental implant placement.
