What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting restores lost jawbone, crucial for dental implants, facial structure, supporting teeth, and gum health. Bone loss can occur after tooth removal, due to gum disease, injury, or other factors. Oasis Smile Dental provides tailored solutions in Northeast Calgary
- Securing Dental Implants: Providing the necessary density and structure for long-lasting implant integration and function.
- Maintaining Facial Structure: Preventing the sunken or collapsed appearance that can occur with bone loss, preserving your natural facial contours.
- Supporting Adjacent Teeth: Ensuring the stability and longevity of your remaining natural teeth.
- Promoting Gum Health: Creating a more stable environment for healthy gum tissue.
- Enhancing Overall Oral Health: Addressing bone deficiencies that can compromise the integrity of your entire oral system.
Bone loss in the jaw can arise from various factors, including the aftermath of tooth removal, the destructive effects of periodontal (gum) disease, traumatic injuries, developmental anomalies, or even the prolonged use of ill-fitting dentures. Regardless of the cause, Oasis Smile Dental in Northeast Calgary offers tailored bone grafting solutions to address your unique needs.
The Benefits of Bone Grafting
