<strong>Bone</strong> <strong>Graft</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Implant</strong><br />
There is no question that dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional removable<br />
dentures. Since they are permanent, they allow you to speak and chew without worrying about<br />
something slipping out of place. Your new replacement teeth appear as natural as the teeth<br />
remaining in your mouth. That is because Dr. Vanama takes special care to match the shape,<br />
color, and shade of your implanted dentures to your existing teeth. Lastly, dental implants give<br />
you a stronger bite and don't weaken surrounding teeth by relying on them for support.<br />
When Might a <strong>Bone</strong> <strong>Graft</strong> Be Necessary?<br />
A dental implant involves placing small titanium screws in your jaw to hold the new teeth in<br />
place. The amount of dental screws required depends on how many teeth you are missing. In<br />
some cases, patients don't have enough bone in the area of the intended implant to support it<br />
fully. If Dr. Vanama discovers this during her examination, she needs to perform a bone graft<br />
before she can place the supporting rods for your dental implant.<br />
When a bone graft for dental implant is required, Dr. Vanama removes a small amount of bone<br />
from another area of your mouth and transfers it to the area receiving the implant. Typically, the<br />
transplanted bone comes from your chin area or from the back of your jaw where you may have<br />
had wisdom teeth at one time. She applies a numbing anesthetic during the procedure to make<br />
sure you are as comfortable as possible. If Dr. Vanama needs to remove a diseased tooth, she<br />
usually completes the bone graft at that time.<br />
