Bone Grafting Tucker, GA

Our team at MINT dentistry wants to help you get a gorgeous, sexy smile that you'll love showing off. But your teeth can only be sexy if they're also healthy, and the strength of your jawbone is vital to the health of your mouth. When your jawbone is weak from missing teeth or physical trauma, a bone graft can help strengthen your jaw so it can hold removable dentures or dental implants. At MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA, bone grafting surgery is often suggested to prepare your mouth for dentures or implant placement surgery to replace weakened or missing teeth. Set up a consultation with one of the skilled practitioners at our upscale dental office in Tucker, GA to learn more about jawbone grafting. Our board-certified dentists are experienced in advanced procedures, like bone grafting surgery, to help you keep your teeth sexy and healthy.

A number of problems can lead to jawbone tissue deterioration, ranging from periodontal disease to mouth injuries. Your jawbone may also be weakened from atrophy if you have a missing tooth for a long period of time without being replaced. Bone grafting strengthens and prepares the jaw for dentures or an implant, but you need to understand how much healing time will be required. The grafting and implant process can take months to finish, but you will have a stronger jaw and better oral health. To determine whether you are an ideal candidate for bone augmentation, one of our skilled dentists will obtain digital images and perform a thorough examination during your consultative appointment at MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA.

Before we begin your procedure, our team will ensure that you're comfortable and ready. Once your graft is prepared for placement, a member of our MINT team will make incisions in your gums so it can be attached to your jawbone. Tissue regenerative factors are added to the graft to speed along the integration. Finally, the surgeon will close the incisions in your gums and rinse the area. The graft will be given time to recover and fuse with your bone tissue.

It usually takes a patient's mouth 6 – 9 months to heal following this surgery. During this time, it's important to follow an optimal home oral care routine with gentle brushing and flossing and use any products recommended by your dentist (like antibiotics or special mouthwashes). You may need to attend follow-up appointments at MINT dentistry so we can monitor your recovery and determine when you can move to the next step in your treatment plan. To continuously improve your oral health, we recommend attending biannual dental examinations and cleanings at our Tucker, GA facility.

To understand your coverage, our billing team will get in touch with your insurance provider before we schedule your surgery. If it is deemed medically necessary, some of your bone grafting surgery cost might be covered by your insurance. During your consultation and exam, we will estimate different options and help you understand how you can best afford your care. MINT dentistry is dedicated to making it easy for our patients to get the advanced care required for a radiant smile. If you do not have insurance and need help affording your bone grafting, please ask your dentist for information on the MINT Discount Plan.
