A dental bone graft involves adding donor bone material to the jaw in areas where it has deteriorated, often as a preliminary treatment for dental implants. At Milestone Oral Surgery & Implant Center (MOSAIC), our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon is an expert in all types of bone augmentation, including sinus lift surgery in Mission Viejo, CA.
If you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate for dental implants due to severe bone loss, Dr. Parshan Namiranian has the right knowledge and surgical skills to rebuild a stable foundation for dental implants.
Rebuilds a Strong Foundation
Prevents facial collapse after tooth extraction.
Restores jawbone volume and density.
Enhances the function and longevity of restorations.
The most common reason for a dental bone graft is to restore adequate bone volume and density for dental implants. Before bone grafting in Mission Viejo, CA, Dr. Namiranian looks at the following factors to determine if and what type of procedure is advised:
Dr. Namiranian has the surgical knowledge and expertise to place all types of dental bone grafts in Mission Viejo, CA, including sinus lifts and ridge augmentation.
At MOSAIC, advanced techniques are used to restore healthy bone with your comfort in mind, including platelet-rich fibrin that promotes healing and bone regeneration. If you have severe bone loss in your maxillary posterior (upper back) jaw and require a sinus lift or have any other type of jawbone defect, our board-certified oral surgeon can help.
Recovery time is similar to recovery from extraction of a tooth. It takes 3-5 days for initial healing and several weeks for a complete healing of the bone grafted site.
Bone grafting is typically performed under IV sedation, and discomfort is generally minimal during the recovery period.
Bone grafts can be made from various materials, including your own bone (autograft), other species bones (xenograft), donor bone (allograft), synthetic bone, or materials that encourage bone growth. Dr. Namiranian will recommend the best option for you.
The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and the amount of graft material required. It is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort.
Most patients can return to work within a few days, depending on the level of discomfort they experience. Resting and following postoperative care instructions are essential for optimal healing.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, graft rejection, or failure to integrate with the jawbone. But these risks are rare, and Dr. Namiranian takes steps to ensure the best possible outcome.
