Bone Grafting
How Does Bone Grafting in Coon Rapids & Minneapolis Work?
Bone grafting is used to repair the site of your dental implant that has poor bone structure due to missing teeth, injuries, or gum disease. For minor bone loss, Dr. El Deeb may place special membranes that will dissolve under the gums to protect the bone graft and help facilitate bone regeneration using a process called guided bone regeneration. When bone is missing from the upper jaw, a sinus bone graft can be performed to replace it. The bone for bone grafting can be obtained from a variety of locations, including your jaw, hip, or tibia.
For larger bone defects the patient’s own bone is often used. Large defects are typically the result of congenital defects, trauma, or surgery. The bone for grafting large defects can come from a variety of locations including the hip, knee, and skull.
