Oral Surgery

Bone Grafting

A vital procedure performed when a person loses a tooth, especially when the tooth has been missing for an extended period. Over time, the absence of a tooth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Bone grafting involves regenerating and augmenting the existing bone structure in the jaw, creating a suitable foundation for dental implants. By restoring the lost bone, this procedure facilitates the successful placement and stability of dental implants, which are essential for restoring a natural bite and a pleasing aesthetic appearance.

Gum Grafting

Another significant surgical intervention that aims to address gum recession or shrinkage, commonly caused by gum disease or aggressive brushing habits. When gums recede, they expose the roots of the teeth, leading to increased sensitivity, tooth mobility, and an undesirable appearance. Gum grafting involves the regeneration and augmentation of the missing gum tissue, effectively covering and protecting the tooth roots. This procedure not only alleviates sensitivity and stabilizes the teeth but also enhances the esthetic aspect of the smile.

Gum disease, a prevalent oral condition, is a primary contributor to gum recession. When left untreated, it can result in severe damage to the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Gum grafting becomes an essential part of the treatment plan to restore gum health, prevent further recession, and maintain the structural integrity of the teeth.
