At Pflugerville Family Dentistry, we understand that a healthy smile goes beyond just great teeth. Our experienced and compassionate dental team is dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care that includes state-of-the-art bone grafting techniques to help you achieve optimal oral health.
Bone grafting is a dental procedure that involves replacing or augmenting missing or damaged bone in the jaw. It is often necessary when there is insufficient bone to support dental implants, dentures, or other dental prostheses. Bone loss in the jaw can result from tooth extractions, gum disease, trauma, or congenital defects. By rebuilding the bone structure, we can create a stable foundation for dental restorations and help prevent further bone loss.
Types Of Bone Grafts
At Pflugerville Family Dentistry, our Pflugerville, TX team specializes in several bone grafting techniques to ensure the best possible outcome for your specific needs. These techniques include socket preservation, ridge augmentation, and sinus lifts.
Socket Preservation
Socket preservation is a bone grafting technique performed immediately after a tooth extraction. By placing bone graft material into the empty tooth socket, we can maintain the original bone structure and prevent the collapse of surrounding tissue. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who plan to receive a dental implant in the future, as it helps preserve the necessary bone support for successful implant placement.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation is a bone grafting procedure used to restore the natural contour of the jawbone after tooth loss or extraction. When a tooth is lost, the bone that once supported it can begin to deteriorate, leading to a sunken or uneven appearance. Ridge augmentation involves placing bone graft material along the affected area to rebuild the bone structure and create a stable foundation for dental restorations such as implants, bridges, or dentures.
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a bone grafting technique used to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone height to support dental implants due to the close proximity of the maxillary sinus. During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed beneath it to encourage new bone growth and create adequate support for dental implants.
