Why you may need bone grafting

Bone grafting rebuilds lost bone

One of the most important factors to consider before placing dental implants is the amount of bone volume within your jaw. Bone Grafting creates the adequate bone volume is necessary to hold the implant post firmly in place and ensure the dental implant does not fail. 

Bone Loss in Jaw

Bone loss is common among those with missing teeth, oral trauma, and gum disease. Luckily, bone structure can be rebuilt through dental grafting. Dr. Gordon is skilled in these procedures and can help you qualify for dental implants, whether your bone loss is minor or severe. For more dental bone grafting information click here.

How the grafting process works

Our Process

During a grafting procedure, Dr. Gordon will take a sample of bone from you or a donor source and convert it into bone granules, similar in texture and appearance to sand. These bone grafting granules are then placed at the site of bone deterioration, just under the gum tissue. The bone granules will fuse to your existing jawbone to create a solid structure. This evens out your jawline and is capable of supporting a dental implant.

Our Bone Grafting Options

Socket Preservation

After a tooth is extracted, it leaves behind an empty socket where the roots resided. With socket preservation grafting, we will pack this socket so that it heals with the proper amount of bone to keep your jaw balanced, prevent teeth from shifting, and allow you to receive dental implants.

Sinus Lift

A sinus lift is an advanced and delicate grafting process that Dr. Gordon has special training to perform. This is used to restore bone in the upper molar area of the jaw. During a sinus lift, Dr. Gordon will carefully access your sinus cavity, gently raise the sinus membrane and place the grafting material underneath. Once healed, a sinus lift provides you with adequate bone volume for dental implant placement in this area.

Ridge Augmentation

When an area of bone has deteriorated, we will need to restore the jaw line (the ridge) with a graft. By placing grafting material at the site of recession, your jaw line will be restored. This is a common procedure for patients seeking dental implants to replace their missing teeth.

Bone Reduction

As an alternative to traditional grafting in Kansas City, we offer bone reduction treatment. This alternative treatment will level out your bone rather than require grafts be placed. We recommend asking Dr. Gordon if this option is right for your specific case.
