Dental Solutions to Make Your Jaw Stronger & Healthier

The Bone Grafting Specialists in Manchester and Hamden, CT

Are you looking to get a bone graft? Here at Signature Smiles in Manchester and Hamden, CT, we offer the best bone grafting services in the area. We use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves using bone from another area of your body to rebuild or repair bones in your mouth. This type of surgery is often needed when there is not enough bone left in the jaw to support dental implants. Bone grafts can also be used to help improve the results of other types of oral surgery, such as sinus lift surgery.

Signs You Need Bone Grafting Services

There are a few signs that you may need bone grafting services. These include:

You have been told by another dentist or oral surgeon that you do not have enough bone to support dental implants.

You have had previous oral surgery and there is not enough bone left to support future procedures.

You have periodontal disease and your bone has been damaged as a result.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is important to seek out the help of a qualified oral surgeon. Here at Signature Smiles, we can help you determine if bone grafting is the right option for you. We will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

What To Expect From Bone Grafting Surgery

Bone grafting surgery is a fairly simple procedure that can be done in our office. You can expect the following to occur during the bone grafting surgery process:

Anesthesia. First, we will numb the area with local anesthesia.

Incision. Then, we will make a small incision in your gums and insert the bone graft material into the jawbone.

Stitches. The incision will be closed with stitches and you will be given a recovery plan to follow. 

Most patients report minimal discomfort after the procedure and are able to return to their normal activities within a few days. It is important to follow your recovery plan closely and avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks after surgery.

Common Questions About Bone Grafting

  • What types of bone graft materials are used?

    Bone graft materials can come from various sources, including the patient's own bone (autograft), a donor (allograft), synthetic materials (alloplast), or animal bone (xenograft).

  • How long does the bone grafting procedure take?

    The bone grafting procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity and the amount of bone being grafted.

  • Is bone grafting painful?

    The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and swelling can be expected during the recovery period, which can be managed with pain medication.

  • How do I care for my mouth after bone grafting?

    After bone grafting, you should follow your dentist’s instructions, which may include eating soft foods, avoiding strenuous activity, and maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure proper healing.
