In order to receive dental implants, an adequate amount of
bone is necessary or else the procedure will not be successful. Typically,
dental implants require six milometers or more of jawbone density, and if your
jaw is lacking that amount you may require a bone grafting procedure.
At Dentistry By Design, Dr. Ed Akeel uses the
Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate SynthoGraft, provided by Bicon Dental Implants. The
Tricalcium Phosphate SynthoGraft is a synthetic and biocompatible material that
is used to regenerate jawbone tissue.
The best way to determine whether a bone graft is necessary
is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Akeel. For now, we can give you some
general ideas that clue you in to whether you need to talk to your dentist
about bone grafting.
What is Bone
Grafting?
A bone graft is used when there is an issue associated with
the bone or joint. Within dentistry, a bone graft replenishes tissues that have
been lost in the jaw due to missing teeth. Receiving a bone graft increases
chances of successful dental implant placement and, thanks to modern
technology, has become a fairly predictable procedure.
When Would You Need
One?
If the location for your dental implants has an insufficient
jawbone density, a bone graft will be necessary in order to improve the quality
of the tissue.
In our Charlottesville office, the bone graft is created
using pure Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate and does not involve biologically-derived
grafting materials. Patients have a greater acceptance rate of the Tricalcium
Phosphate due to its synthetic nature and subsequently experience a faster healing
process than other available bone grafts.
Once the graft has healed, your jawbone will be able to
withstand dental implant placement.
