Bone augmentation
For successful dental implants procedure we need to have enough of jaw bone. Loss of jaw bone usually occurs when we loose tooth, because of periodontal disease, different infections and inflammations , dental caries and mechanical traumas or injuries. If there is not enough bone under your gums you need a procedure to add bone. There are different procedures to add bone, usually there is bone graftin ( adding ) with bone or bonelike materials. The graft can be your own bone or processed bone. Artificial materials need few months to fuse with the surrounding bone.
There are several different procedures for bone augmentation. Usually your dentist will suggest which one is right for you.
If you need bone augmentation you can do it with bone grafts, which are taken from your chin, hip or shin. But that would require hospitalization and general anesthesia. But there is also other excellent options like synthetic materials. When using synthetic materials dentist use local anesthesia. When the augmentation is done you will get antibiotics something for pain and antibacterial mouthwash. You will have to change your diet to something softer while healing and avoid putting pressure on that area. Usually it takes six to nine months before we can load an implant.
