Bone Grafting Aurora IL

MAJOR & MINOR BONE GRAFTING

Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.

Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.

MAJOR BONE GRAFTING

Bone grafting can be done after the tooth extraction, simultaneously during implant placement, sinus bone grafting and for other reasons. Ask your periodontist about your options.

 

Minor BONE GRAFTING

Minor bone graft can be done during guided tissue regeneration procedure (GTR) due to loss of tooth attachment because of periodontal disease or during tooth extraction.
