Bone Grafting in chicago

 

Restore Your Smile’s Foundation with Confidence

When you lose a tooth, you’re not just missing the crown — you’re also at risk of losing valuable bone in your jaw. This bone loss can affect your appearance, oral health, and ability to receive dental implants. At Oral & Facial Surgery of Chicago, our expert surgeons offer advanced bone grafting procedures to restore bone structure, support dental implants, and preserve the natural shape of your face.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds and regenerates lost bone in your jaw. Whether due to trauma, gum disease, or prolonged tooth loss, bone deterioration can compromise your smile and limit your treatment options. A bone graft provides a solid foundation for dental implants and helps maintain facial volume and symmetry.

Why Is Bone Grafting Important?

• Prepares the Jaw for Dental Implants
  Implants require a strong, stable base. Bone grafting creates the necessary bone support for long-term implant success.

• Restores Natural Facial Contours
  Bone loss can lead to a sunken, aged appearance. Rebuilding bone structure helps maintain your facial aesthetics.

• Protects Adjacent Teeth
  Grafting helps stabilize surrounding teeth and prevents further bone loss from spreading.

• Supports Overall Oral Health
  A healthy jawbone is essential for chewing, speaking, and maintaining alignment in your bite.

Types of Bone Grafts We Offer

• Socket Preservation: Done immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss in the area.

• Ridge Augmentation: Restores the natural contour of the jawbone after severe loss.

• Sinus Lift: Adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars and premolars to support implants.

• Autografts & Allografts: Using your own bone (autograft) or donor bone (allograft), depending on your specific needs.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Personalized Consultation:
   We use 3D imaging and a comprehensive exam to assess your jaw and plan your treatment.

2. Comfortable Procedure:
   The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for a stress-free experience.

3. Graft Placement:
   Your surgeon precisely places the grafting material where bone has deteriorated.

4. Healing & Integration:
   Over the next few months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong foundation for implants.

Common Questions About Bone Grafting

Initial healing typically takes 1–2 weeks. Full integration with your jawbone may take 3–6 months, depending on the type and size of the graft.
