Jaw bone loss can occur due to various factors, like periodontal issues, infections, injury, etc. Dental Implant is an excellent and long-term solution for missing teeth, but it needs strong bone support for insertion. If your jaw bone is not strong enough or has enough structure, your dentist might suggest you get bone grafting surgery done. The procedure involves removing a piece of bone from other body parts and then inserting it into the jawbone. It provides support in dental implant placement.
Is bone grafting painful?
Dental bone grafting, however scary it may sound, is a minor procedure. You will be sedated throughout the procedure, which means you will not feel any pain or discomfort. Once the anesthesia wears off, you might feel a little bit of pain, which is tolerable and can be managed using over-the-counter medications. The post-procedure discomfort might stay for a few weeks, but it will reduce as the surgery site recovers. In case of sudden pain or extreme discomfort, you should contact your dentist immediately.
Why do you need dental bone grafting?
If you are an adult who has missing teeth or had periodontal problems, your chances of getting bone graft surgery are high. Missing teeth can cause bone erosion and so do gum diseases, so if you have either or both, your dentist might suggest you go with bone grafting surgery. It would help in restoring your appearance and would strengthen your jawbone structure.
