About dental bone grafting
Dental Bone Graft
Dental bone grafting is a state of the art, effective, very safe way to encourage and promote healing and bone growth in your jaw. Bone tissue has the natural ability to regenerate and to grow, so strategic placement of bone grafts in your jawbone will encourage bone growth in the spots where density and mass is needed. After your conscientious team at Traynor Periodontics & Implants places the graft, the jawbone will require about four to nine months to form additional bone mass before we can surgically place your dental implant.
Dental bone grafting gives us the opportunity to not only replace missing bone mass, but also the ability to stimulate and promote new bone growth in that location. This gives us the capacity to place dental implants of the appropriate length successfully and gives us the ability to restore healthy and proper functionality and also a pleasing, aesthetic smile.
Traynor Periodontics & Implants provides a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We are well-known for our honest communication style and warm presence. We are extremely effective with all clinical practices due to our consistent engagement with the innovative, technological improvements in the dental industry. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary. Call Traynor Periodontics & Implants at 203-661-5885 with any questions or to make an appointment for a bone grafting treatment.
If your tooth or teeth have been missing for a while, we may very well need to perform a dental bone graft. Your jawbone most likely has begun to atrophy if you have neglected to replace a missing tooth for a significant period. A dental bone graft is extremely successful in replacing lost bone tissue.

The Regeneration of the Jawbone
Dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone have become the new gold standard in replacing missing teeth with secure, strong, stable, high quality artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like your own natural teeth. Sometimes the jawbone might not be dense enough or have enough mass to support dental implants successfully. There are varied reasons this can happen. For example, if several teeth are missing, the jawbone will weaken, atrophy, and lose integrity over time. Jawbone density is also negatively affected by other conditions, like an infection, surgery, trauma, gum disease, and congenital defects. Without a healthy jawbone with substantial integrity, the success rate for a dental implant will be dramatically challenged.
Dental Bone Graft Procedure
The Dental Bone Graft Procedure
After we administer a local anesthetic and the immediate soft tissue is sufficiently numb, we will fold back part of the gum tissue and clean out any unwanted or infected gum tissue, thereby creating a pocket for the grafting substance. Then we place the selected bone grafting material, which stimulates and promotes your body to help naturally build new bone.
In some situations, the Traynor Periodontics & Implants experts might choose to place a special membrane over the placed graft to both protect the new graft and promote and encourage healthy bone growth. This membrane will dissolve on its own. The staff at Traynor Periodontics & Implants will explain with you all the details about your specific procedure so that you know exactly what to expect.
How does it work
How Does the Grafting Works?
The dental bone grafting procedure involves using a material which augments and grows new bone. This material is just added next to your existing bone tissue. Healing will begin immediately after we complete the bone graft procedure. Once your body begins to grow new bone, we will exam it to be sure that the graft is stable and secure.
Once the team at Traynor Periodontics & Implants is confident the bone graft is solid, strong, and secure, we can begin placing your dental implants and your new artificial teeth.

Grafting Success
Although most patients truly find the dental bone graft results phenomenally successful, success is never a promised outcome. There simply are no guarantees in life. Your graft will fail and not develop if you have or contract an infection in your mouth. If this indeed happens, we will consult with you about other ways to treat the issue moving forward.
Even though bone grafting is becoming increasingly common and frequent, you still need to keep in mind that it is still a treatment that takes time and your patience. The bone grafting material simply takes time to naturally integrate with your bone.
