How Bone and Gum Grafting Can Help You
Bone and gum grafting are surgical procedures that restore the foundation of your teeth, whether that’s replacing lost bone or rebuilding receded gum tissue. Here’s a look at when each may be recommended:
What to Expect from The Grafting Process
We understand that any surgical procedure can feel intense. Our Hamilton dental team is committed to making your experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Here’s a general overview of what to expect during your gum or bone grafting procedure, step by step.
1. Personalized Consultation
First, we’ll examine your gums, teeth, and jaw using digital imaging, like our CBCT x-rays, and other diagnostic tools. We'll explain the areas of concern, walk you through your options, and help you decide if a gum graft or dental bone graft is the right step in your treatment plan.
2. Treatment Planning
Next, we will tailor your treatment according to what plan works best for you. If you're receiving a gum graft, we’ll determine the type of donor material to use and the best technique based on your individualized diagnosis. For bone grafts, we use safe, biocompatible materials designed to promote healthy bone growth.
3. Grafting Procedure
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, with sedation options available if needed. We’ll gently place the grafting material in the targeted area and secure it so it can heal and integrate naturally with your existing tissue or bone.
4. Recovery and Aftercare
After surgery, you’ll be given clear instructions and a care plan to help you heal. You may be advised to eat soft foods, avoid certain activities, and use medication or rinses as needed. Healing times vary, but many patients start to feel better within a few days and see full results over a few months.
