Benefits of Bone Grafting at All County Oral Surgery
Bone grafting will be done to restore the bone in your jaw to its previous form, and it may also be used to maintain the existing bone structure after you have had teeth extracted. These activities are important for several reasons. Dental implant placement will require that the bone of the jaw is as close to the original areas in order to achieve optimal results. The jaw and facial bones support the muscles and skin that make up your facial shape and appearance, and without this underlying support, your face may look prematurely aged.
Dr. Jordan Ecker talks about the essentials of bone grafting
Before your bone grafting procedure, your oral surgeon may recommend a periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing, to ensure your gums and teeth are in top condition. Good oral hygiene—brushing and flossing twice daily—will also aid in a smooth recovery and optimal outcome.
Anesthesia will be administered during the procedure, so it's crucial to follow your oral surgeon's pre-op instructions. These typically include fasting for six hours before surgery, abstaining from smoking, and taking any necessary precautions. At All County Oral Surgery, we provide detailed preparation instructions to make your experience as comfortable and safe as possible.
Preparing for your Bone Grafting procedure
After Your Bone Grafting procedure
Following your bone graft, your surgeon will likely prescribe pain relief medication to ease any discomfort. To manage swelling, apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek. Our dedicated team will provide you with specific post-op care instructions and support throughout your recovery process to ensure the best possible experience.
