Bone Grafts in Los Algodones, Mexico

A bone graft is a dental treatment that is performed to increase the size of the jawbone in cases where there is bone loss due to tooth extraction, traumatic injury, or some other oral disease. Sinus lifts are a very similar procedure but are done on the upper jaw to prevent bone loss.After this surgery, a dental implant can be attached to the grafted bone.

What is the bone graft procedure about?

Carrying out a dental implant procedure in a patient who suffers from jaw bone density loss without first performing a bone graft surgery can have bad consequences, since the dental implants will not be fixed well, and if an implant has to be removed, the bone loss will be higher.

That is why, during the first consultation, our expert dentist Dr. Xochipilli Bojorquez will perform a deep examination to identify what type of damage exists in the bone tissue, or if there is any other disease that is affecting your oral health, to know if you are a candidate for a bone graft procedure or a sinus lift surgery and offer you the best dental care.

Although it may sound complicated, it is a simple procedure that can be completed in one session.

Our dentist will agree with the patient and the anesthesiologist if the dental bone restoration surgery will be performed with local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the type of graft material to be used and the patient’s preferences.

During surgery, our implant dentistry specialist will make an incision in the gum to separate the soft tissue from the existing bone, then the new bone or bone graft material will be placed and fixed to the jawbone with a titanium screw.

Finally, the area will be covered with a membrane and the gum will be sutured. The healing time will last 3 to 6 months so that the grafted bone is perfectly healed to place the dental implant. This procedure is often done before getting full mouth dental implants.

Why is a bone graft necessary to get dental implants?

One of the most used and effective dental treatments to replace missing teeth are dental implants; Through this procedure, a titanium implant is fixed in the jaw bone to which the new tooth will be attached.

It is a very effective long-term solution and a perfect way to restore the aesthetic of the smile, but, to be eligible for a dental implant, it will be necessary for the bone to meet the appropriate conditions for the implant to be fixed.

Losing a tooth due to injuries or tooth extraction produces a natural bone density loss in the jaw, this happens with all extractions, even with the wisdom teeth.

Without a tooth to stimulate the bone, it will be slowly reabsorbed losing volume in the process. So, if you want to have dental implant surgery and the jawbone has shrunk considerably, a bone graft will be necessary.

The process of bone density loss happens in all cases of tooth loss, even if it is a tooth extracted. The use of a temporary removable denture or wearing dentures prevents displacement of the teeth, but not bone degradation. That is why dental implants, fixed bridges and fixed prosthesis are recommended after a tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.

Periodontal disease or gum disease can also cause bone loss, so it is important to pay attention to our oral health, not only to have a beautiful smile but to enjoy good health.

Types of bone graft used to place dental implants

Bone grafts are taken from other parts of bone tissue and placed in the required location to increase its size. These grafts can be taken from the patient own bone or use plastic biocompatible materials.

Far from what you may think, bone grafting, it’s a simple and painless procedure. 3 main types of bone graft can be used for bone augmentation in dental implant treatments.

Autogenous: the patient’s bone tissue is taken and grafted. The graft can be taken from another part of the jaw or chin to avoid making other extraoral wounds. This bone grafting is ideal since there is no risk of rejection or infection. Also, the healing process will be quicker and the implant placement could be done in less time.

Allograft: the graft is a sample of bone tissue taken from another donor. This sample has been treated to achieve neutrality and immunity to prevent rejection and infection.

Alloplastic: the grafting is a synthetic material, perfectly biocompatible.

There is a fourth bone graft material called xenographic material, in which processed bovine bone is used to create a natural substitute for human bone. This alternative has been fully approved and is becoming more common in bone grafting procedures.

After grafting, the bone will reach its proper height and width. The recovery period can take between three weeks to six months as the body begins to assimilate and integrate the graft on a cellular level.

After the bone graft surgery, you will be able to get dental implant surgery to place single tooth implants or full arch dental implants.

To consider before and after the bone grafting surgery

If you have missing spaces in your mouth due to teeth extraction, injury, or age, and you have waited some years to get a treatment, you are most likely to have damage to the jawbone structure, so you are a candidate for a bone grafting.

Before the surgical procedure, our doctor will examine the area by doing a CT Scan and a series of X-rays in the upper and lower jaw to identify the type of damage that exists in the bone and determine the amount of bone that should be grafted.

Thanks to our technological equipment, Dr. Bojorquez will be able to show you a virtual tour of what the procedure will be like.
