If you have experienced tooth or bone loss, our periodontist may perform a bone grafting procedure prior to placing a dental implant or performing another treatment. When you lose a tooth, the supporting jawbone in that area begins to resorb, or deteriorate and shrink, at the site of the missing tooth. This causes your remaining teeth to become unstable and shift out of place. This bone loss may also occur due to periodontal disease or other factors.
Dr. Eli Janabi and Dr. Monique Guraya provide bone grafting to ensure that your teeth have a stable foundation. During a bone graft, he will transplant a piece of bone from another area of your jaw or body into the site of the missing jawbone. This transplanted bone will then grow together with the grafted bone tissue to create a stronger and more stable foundation for your implant. While the best results for this treatment are produced while using your own bone tissue, we can also utilize artificial bone material or donated bone fragments from a tissue bank if needed.
We welcome you to contact Smile Studio Dental at 703-982-2222 if you have any questions about bone grafting in Falls Church, Virginia, and to schedule your consultation with our experienced periodontist. We are committed to helping you regain your oral health and quality of life.
