Bone Graft

Your smile deserves solid support—bone grafting builds it from the ground up. If you require a bone graft in Bakersfield to improve your jaw’s strength and function, visit our dental office in Bakersfield, CA. We offer advanced solutions to promote faster healing. At our state-of-the-art oral and maxillofacial surgery center, we specialize in regenerative medicine, utilizing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy to stimulate natural healing from within.

What are the different types of bone grafts?

There are many types of bone grafts available in the market.

Autogenous

Allograft

Xenograft

Autogenous bone grafts, which are bone taken from your own body, are considered the best material for creating new bone. However, recent advancements in medicine have allowed us to use processed demineralized and sterile bone from cadavers, known as Allograft, with successful outcomes.

We frequently utilize Allograft bone grafts from cadavers combined with platelet-rich plasma extracted from your blood to harness the growth factors and stem cells needed for bone regeneration. With this cutting-edge technology, we can prepare various areas of your jaw for future implant placement or replace any missing bone in your jaw.

Who can benefit from a bone grafting procedure?

You may need bone grafting procedure to your jaw for the following reasons :

Having inadequate bone to place a dental implant in your jaw to restore chewing function and replace missing teeth

Post jaw injury and facial fractures

Non healing areas of your jaw bone due to use of Bisphosphonates medications

Loss of part of the jaw due to benign or malignant oral pathology such as cysts and tumors

Am I a good candidate for bone grafting procedure?

After evaluating your goals and reviewing your health history, our oral surgeons can determine which type of bone grafting material is right for you. Our team of surgeons then creates a customized treatment plan to address your needs and ensure you’re ready for future dental implant placement.
