Procedure Overview
Bone grafting is a common procedure used to restore bone structure in the jaw that has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. At Norwood Dental Cosmetics, our experienced team, led by Dr. Saad Joulakh, specializes in these procedures to help patients regain proper jaw function and aesthetics.
During the process, bone tissue is taken from another part of the body or a donor source and transplanted to the area of the jaw that needs additional support. This new bone tissue stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting the growth of new bone cells and ultimately strengthening the jaw structure. Whether you require this treatment as part of a dental implant procedure or to improve the overall health of your jaw, our team at Norwood Dental Cosmetics is here to provide expert care and guidance throughout the process.

Types of Grafts
This procedure is used to restore bone structure and support dental implants. There are several types of grafts that can be used depending on the specific needs of the patient. Autografts, which involve taking bone from one part of the patient’s body and transferring it to another, are often considered the gold standard due to their high success rate and compatibility with the patient’s own bone tissue.
Allografts, on the other hand, involve using bone from a donor source, such as a cadaver, to supplement the patient’s existing bone structure. This type is often used when there is not enough viable bone available from the patient’s own body. Xenografts, which use bone from a non-human source, and synthetic bone grafts, which are made from biocompatible materials, are also options for patients who may not be suitable candidates for autografts or allografts. To learn more about these procedures and determine which type may be right for you, schedule a consultation with Norwood Dentist today.
Risks and Complications
When considering these procedures, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and complications that may arise. While generally safe and effective, there are some risks involved. These risks may include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and allergic reactions to anesthesia or other medications used during the procedure.
Complications can also occur, such as graft rejection, inadequate bone growth, or damage to surrounding teeth or structures. It is important to discuss these risks with your dentist and ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Saad Joulakh and the team at Norwood Dental Cosmetics are experienced in performing these procedures and will work closely with you to minimize any potential risks and complications.
