Dental Bone grafts can be of many sorts. The ideal kind will be chosen for your specific situation by our periodontist. 

• Autogenous Bone Graft.  extracted from the patient’s body (usually from the posterior part of the lower jaw or the chin). Since it leads in the most predictable outcomes, this procedure is generally preferred.
• Allograft Bone Grafting.  In this kind of transplant, cadaver or synthetic bone is employed.
• Xenograft. These grafts are made from cow bone.

It can sometimes take many months to finish the bone grafts surgery. The affected spot is normally filled with bone that has been taken from your own body (or, in rare cases, from a “bone bank”). The migration of cells will result in strong attachment and cell development, and this bone will merge with the old bone. Increased bone mass from adding bone to the jaw will support and anchor the implant by increasing bone mass (s).

The periodontist will use local anesthesia throughout the procedure to numb the grafting and extraction sites. The new bone will be fixed into place after a tiny incision is made to prepare the area. Occasionally, the new bone may be covered with a synthetic membrane. This barrier promotes the formation of new bone while preventing bacterial and soft tissue invasions. You won’t need to spend the night following the procedure, and you’ll get thorough post-op care instructions. The periodontist will recommend medicines to aid with swelling, pain, and infection control.
