Trust Your Dentist for Bone Grafts in Livonia

You can replace missing teeth with a lifelike solution that gives you normal oral function: dental implants. These modern tooth replacements look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. However, your jawbone health is crucial for their success. If you have a weak jaw due to bone loss, your dentist can strengthen it with bone grafts in Livonia before you receive implants. A grafting procedure will:

Add bone material to areas of your jaw that have weakened over time to give your implants a strong foundation
Restore your jaw’s natural contour and improve the appearance and the fit of your future implants
Prevent further weakening of your jawbone to protect your oral health and your facial structure
Give your implants strong, healthy bone tissue that they will need to properly integrate with your jaw

Call 734-875-8783 for an appointment. You can schedule a free implant consultation which includes CBCT X-rays. Be sure to ask about our discounts for seniors, veterans, and active military personnel too.

Gain a Strong Healthy Jaw for Your New Smile

Prepare for Implants

The bone grafting process is straightforward and comfortable. Your dentist will:

Numb your mouth to eliminate discomfort and offer you sedation if you need help relaxing during your procedure
Carefully place either donor bone material or advanced synthetic material into your weakened jaw area
Use PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatment to encourage healing, accelerate bone regeneration, and reduce your recovery time

After your bone graft, the grafted material and PRF stimulate your body to generate healthy new bone tissue. Once your jaw has fully strengthened, your dentist can move forward with your implant procedure.

Expect Top Results

Throughout your procedure, your dentist will ensure your comfort every step of the way. They will:

Use the latest technology, such as CBCT 3-D scans and digital X-rays, to plan your grafting
Ensure that you will have the most successful results and streamlined procedure
Address any questions or concerns in our private care rooms for your peace of mind
Offer you sedation if you feel anxious about your grafting
Allow you to relax with pillows and blankets so you can feel completely comfortable

Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Grafts

What is a bone graft?

If you have a weak or thin jawbone and are unable to get dental implants, a bone graft can make implants a reality. Your dentist will carefully insert synthetic bone material in your gum. Over the next few months, this material will stimulate the growth of new bone cells in your jaw. Soon, your jaw will be strong enough to support implants and replacement teeth.

Are bone grafts necessary?

Bone grafts are necessary if your jawbone is lacking sufficient strength or depth to support dental implants. In these cases, we can perform a bone graft to strengthen the bone and get it ready for implants. Bone grafts can make you a good candidate for dental implants if you’ve been told that implants weren’t a possibility for you.

Can bone grafts save teeth?

A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate, so you won’t lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.
