If you've been told you need a bone graft at our dental clinic in Parramatta, you likely have insufficient
bone volume in your jaw to support a planned dental procedure. At Painfree Dentistry, we commonly recommend bone grafting in the following situations:
Reasons for Bone Grafting Procedures
- For Dental Implants — The most common reason for bone grafting is to prepare for dental implants. Successful implants require adequate bone density to securely anchor the titanium posts that support your new tooth. Before recommending dental implants in Parramatta, we carefully evaluate your bone structure to determine if grafting is necessary.
- After Tooth Extraction — Sometimes, our dentists recommend a bone graft immediately after tooth extraction (socket preservation) to minimise bone loss and maintain the socket's shape for future restoration.
- Gum Disease Bone Loss — Advanced gum disease can gradually destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Grafting may help regenerate lost bone and save teeth that we might need to remove otherwise.
What to Expect with Bone Grafting in Parramatta
The bone graft material may come from your body, a donor source or synthetic alternatives. During your consultation at Painfree Dentistry, we'll recommend the type of graft that is best for your situation, the procedure involved and the expected healing time (typically several months).
It’s common to have questions and concerns about bone grafting, and our dental team is here to guide you through the process. If you would like more information, please contact our Parramatta dental clinic so we can help you.
