Your jawbone thrives on the stimulation it receives from your teeth to maintain its strength and vitality. If you’ve been missing teeth for a while, you might have noticed bone resorption effects like ill-fitting dentures or a “sunken” facial look. Low bone density can further lead to tooth loss and impaired oral functions, impacting your diet and overall health. If you’ve been told you can’t receive dental implants due to significant bone loss, we invite you to meet with our expert dental team.
Bone grafting plays a crucial role in replenishing jawbone health, enabling you to replace missing teeth with dental implants. Our skilled team is experienced in a variety of bone grafting techniques, ensuring your jaw is robust and ready for implants. Your complete treatment—from bone grafting to implant surgery and restorative care—occurs seamlessly in our state-of-the-art facility in Bowling Green, KY, enhancing your comfort and convenience.
Our personalized bone grafting methods aim to restore the bone levels needed to support dental implants. Techniques include:
Ridge augmentation is a technique that rebuilds the bone levels in your jaw, both vertically and horizontally, after significant bone loss. This procedure gets the bone contours and density back to natural levels, making it safe to support dental implants. It’s often done after a tooth extraction to make sure the empty socket heals the right way
A sinus lift is a procedure done to add bone to the upper back jaw. After losing molars or having them extracted in this area, the bone can shrink upwards and the sinus cavity can sink lower. This procedure lifts the sinus membrane up so that bone grafting material can be placed underneath, restoring the bone to its needed height and density. Once it heals, your new bone will be ready to support a dental implant.
Guided tissue regeneration is a treatment used to promote optimal healing of both bone and soft tissue by keeping them separate. Because bone and gum tissue heal at different rates, using a special barrier membrane ensures that the bone can heal and regenerate without interference from gum tissue. We often pair this technique with bone grafting to ensure your tissues heal healthily.
