At Georgia Facial & Oral Surgery, we specialize in comprehensive oral and maxillofacial procedures, including advanced bone grafting techniques. Our bone grafting services are essential for patients who require additional bone support for dental implants or other oral surgeries.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore or enhance the bone structure in the jaw. This is particularly important for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. The procedure involves placing bone material, either from the patient’s own body (autograft), a donor (allograft), or synthetic materials, into the affected area. This graft acts as a scaffold, promoting new bone growth and providing the necessary support for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
The Expertise of Dr. Tyler Haeffs
Dr. Tyler Haeffs is a highly respected oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a robust educational background and extensive clinical experience. He completed his dental degree at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and further honed his skills during a residency at the University of Illinois Chicago. Dr. Haeffs’ expertise and commitment to patient care make him a trusted choice for dental implant procedures.
Why Consider Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is crucial for several reasons:
- Support for Dental Implants: Adequate bone volume is necessary to anchor dental implants securely. If the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume, bone grafting can rebuild the area to ensure successful implant placement.
- Sinus Lifts: In cases where the upper jaw lacks enough bone height, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars, a sinus lift procedure may be necessary. This involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to increase bone height and density.
- Ridge Expansion: Sometimes, the jaw ridge is too thin to support implants. Ridge expansion is a technique that increases the width of the jawbone, allowing for successful implant placement.
- Nerve Repositioning: For lower jaw implants, the inferior alveolar nerve may need to be moved to allow sufficient space for the implant. Bone grafting can provide additional support in these cases.
Our Expertise and Technology
At Georgia Facial & Oral Surgery, we utilize state-of-the-art technology, including Cone Beam 3D Imaging, to ensure precise planning and execution of bone grafting procedures. This advanced imaging technology provides highly detailed views of the jawbone structure, allowing our surgeons to assess the quality and quantity of the existing bone and plan the grafting procedure with accuracy.
