What Is a Dental Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a procedure used to rebuild or restore bone in the jaw that may have been lost due to injury, infection, or tooth loss. During the procedure, bone material is placed in areas where the bone has weakened or deteriorated, helping to stimulate new bone growth. This is often necessary before procedures like dental implants, as sufficient bone is needed to secure the implant. At Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery, Dr. Mark Hardison and Dr. Jeff Warden offer dental bone grafts to help patients in Murfreesboro and Smyrna, TN, regain a strong and healthy foundation for their smiles.

How Is a Bone Graft Performed?
When you arrive for your bone graft, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area, ensuring you're comfortable throughout the process. In some cases, a sedative may also be offered if you're feeling anxious. During the procedure, bone material is placed into the area where the bone is missing. This material could be taken from another part of your body, a donor source, or be synthetic. The graft is carefully positioned, and the area is closed with sutures. Afterward, you'll be given post-operative care instructions, including how to manage swelling and discomfort. Over time, the graft will integrate with the natural bone, promoting new bone growth to prepare for dental implants or restore the jaw's natural structure.
