At Yorba Linda Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in procedures that restore and enhance the health of your jawbone through advanced bone grafting techniques. Understanding the critical role of jawbone health in your overall oral wellness is essential.
A healthy jawbone is vital in supporting your teeth and facilitating a radiant smile. The jawbone works in harmony with your teeth, playing a pivotal role in chewing and speaking. Maintaining good jawbone health is crucial, and it involves regular dental check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper oral hygiene.
Jawbone loss and deterioration can occur due to several reasons including:
Tooth extractions: When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the jawbone in the extraction site can deteriorate over time.
Periodontal disease: Chronic infections can lead to the loss of bone supporting the teeth.
Trauma: Accidents and injuries can cause damage to the jawbone, necessitating corrective procedures.
Developmental defects: Some individuals may experience jawbone issues due to congenital conditions.
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that seeks to rectify jawbone issues, paving the way for dental implants and other restorative procedures. Here at Yorba Linda Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer bone grafting solutions that are tailored to meet the unique needs of every patient. The procedure involves using bone material, either from the patient or a bone bank, to encourage new bone growth in the affected area.
