Bone Grafting in Kennesaw, GA

A dazzling smile with sexy teeth is exactly what our team is dedicated to at MINT dentistry. However, your smile will only be dazzling if it's healthy first. The strength of your jawbone is imperative to your oral health. When your jaw is weak from physical trauma or missing teeth, you may need a bone graft to help augment the strength of your jawbone so it will be able to hold dental implants or removable dentures. At MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA, bone grafting surgery is usually suggested to prepare your jaw for dentures or dental implants to replace weakened or missing teeth. Book a consultation with our team at MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA to get more information about bone augmentation. MINT dentistry's board-certified doctors are skilled in advanced procedures, like bone grafting surgery, to help you keep your sexy teeth.

Oral conditions, like periodontal disease, and physical trauma to your face can be contributing factors to bone loss in your jaw. Atrophy can also weaken the jawbone if a tooth or teeth have not been replaced with a dental implant. Bone augmentation surgery strengthens and prepares the jaw for dentures or an implant, but it's important to understand that the process will take time. The grafting and implant process often takes months to finish, but you'll have a restored jawbone that will support your dental implants or dentures for better oral health. To help us decide whether you require bone grafting, your team will obtain digital x-rays and perform a thorough examination during your initial consultation at MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA.

Before we begin your bone grafting procedure, we will make sure you are totally relaxed by helping you into one of our massage chairs and then administering the sedation method of your choosing. After your graft is ready to be placed, your MINT dental team will attach it to your jawbone through incisions made in your gums. Tissue regenerative factors will be added to help the graft integrate. Once the process is complete, your gums will be closed and the treatment site will be rinsed thoroughly. The graft will be given time to recover and bond with your natural bone structure.

The natural bone in your jaw will integrate with the graft over the next 6 – 9 months. During this time, it's important to follow an optimal oral care routine at home with brushing and flossing, plus any products your MINT dentistry team recommends (for example, a prescribed mouthwash or antibiotics). We will schedule your follow-up appointments at MINT dentistry so our team can check your recovery and decide when you can move to the next step in your treatment plan. To continuously improve your oral health, our dental practitioners suggest attending appointments for cleanings twice a year at our Kennesaw, GA dental center.

Our support staff will reach out to your dental insurance to confirm your coverage before scheduling your bone grafting surgery so that you know about any out-of-pocket costs beforehand. If it's considered medically necessary, a portion of the bone grafting procedure fee may be paid by your policy. During your consultation, we will estimate different options and explain ways that may make your treatment more affordable. We are committed to making it easy for our patients to receive the advanced care needed for a stunning smile. If you do not have insurance and cannot afford your bone graft surgery, please ask your dentist for information on the MINT Discount Plan.
