Jaw Bone Grafting, Jaw bone grafting is considered one of the essential procedures that many people may undergo, primarily after considering dental implants, as it greatly supports the jaw and adds greater strength to the screw that will be implanted in place of the missing tooth. In this article, we will learn in detail about the specifics of this procedure and what it entails, so follow us.
Jaw bone grafting is an important surgical procedure that helps restore the normal function of the jaw and facial aesthetics, which we will learn about in detail. Jaw bone grafting is one of the essential procedures closely linked to dental implants. We will also explain how this surgical procedure is performed, who needs to undergo this procedure, and the associated benefits and risks.
Initially, jaw grafting involves what is known as jaw bone augmentation, a procedure that precedes dental implants, as we have previously informed you. It is performed in cases where the individual suffers from a significant and apparent deficiency in the jaw bones, making them unsuitable for implantation. This can occur due to jaw resorption or atrophy, or even as a result of tooth extraction and waiting for an extended period before filling the gap.
At The Dental Center, advanced dental implant techniques and a specialized medical team ensure optimal and natural results for you.
Jaw bone grafting is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing or reconstructing lost or damaged bone in the jaw area by grafting new bone. The grafted bone can be taken from the patient’s own body, from a donor, or from synthetic sources.
The placement of the grafted bone varies from case to case. It is possible to take bones from the patient themselves, from their chin or behind their wisdom teeth, and graft them into the desired area to support the bone. Alternatively, it can be obtained from another person as a donor or even from an animal, typically a cow.
Despite the successful outcomes of jaw bone grafting procedures, there are still many individuals who may be excluded from undergoing this procedure, while a greater number of individuals need to undergo this procedure. The necessity for this procedure is determined by the following groups of candidates:

The bulk grafts are then secured in place and covered with an absorbable protective membrane, closed with surgical sutures, and left to heal.
Jaw bone grafting works by replacing lost or damaged bone with new bone, allowing the jaw to regain its normal function and improving facial appearance. The grafted bone gradually integrates with the surrounding bone tissue, promoting wound healing and providing the necessary support for teeth and surrounding tissues.
