Bone Grafting in Brooks, AB - Parkview Dental Centre

Your Choice for Brooks Dental Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is used to support areas of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional structure is needed for treatment. This can happen after a tooth has been removed or in areas where the bone is not strong enough to support certain procedures.

At Parkview Dental Centre, bone grafting is considered when the jaw does not have enough support for the type of treatment being planned. In some cases, this becomes important when preparing for a dental implant or when the shape of the bone has changed over time.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting involves placing grafting material into an area of the jaw to help rebuild or support the bone.

As the area heals, the graft integrates with your natural bone and helps strengthen the site. This can create a more stable foundation for future treatment or help maintain the structure of the jaw.

Bone grafting is planned based on the condition of your jaw bone and what is needed for the treatment being considered.

When Bone Grafting May Be Considered

Bone grafting may be recommended when there is not enough bone to support treatment or when the structure of the jaw has changed.

This may include:

● Areas where a tooth has been missing for some time
● Bone loss affecting the strength or shape of the jaw
● Situations where additional support is needed before treatment
● Planning for procedures that require a stable foundation

Our team will review your specific needs and goals to determine if bone grafting is appropriate for you.

Bone Grafting at Parkview Dental Centre

Bone grafting is completed as part of a planned treatment and is based on your individual situation.

The procedure involves placing grafting material in the area where support is needed and allowing time for the area to heal. As healing takes place, the material integrates with your natural bone.

Healing time can vary depending on the area being treated and your overall oral health. We will explain how treatment will be planned in your case so you understand what to expect.

Bone grafting is one part of treatment planning when additional support is required for the area to function properly and to help you meet your oral health goals.
