Bone Grafting in Denver, lakewood, & littleton

Why Bone Preservation Matters After a tooth extraction, the surrounding bone and gum tissue begin to resorb, causing loss of height and width. This can result in both functional and cosmetic issues, including an unattractive, collapsed appearance.

Our Approach to Bone Preservation At Peak OMS, we use advanced grafting techniques to minimize or prevent bone and gum tissue loss after tooth removal. We place bioengineered graft material in the extraction socket to support new bone growth and preserve surrounding tissues.

Causes of Jaw Bone Loss

1. Tooth Extractions: Missing teeth lead to bone resorption due to lack of stimulation.
2. Periodontal Disease: Chronic gum infections destroy the supporting bone and tissue.
3. Dentures/Bridgework: Unanchored dentures and certain bridges do not stimulate bone, leading to deterioration.
4. Facial Trauma: Injuries can disrupt bone structure and require grafting to restore.
5. Misalignment: Misaligned teeth can cause bone loss where teeth are over-erupted.
6. Osteomyelitis: Bone infections can require grafting after treatment.
7. Tumors: Removal of benign or malignant tumors may necessitate bone grafting.
8. Developmental Deformities: Some conditions may require grafting to restore missing bone.
9. Sinus Deficiencies: Enlarged sinuses from missing upper molars can be treated with a sinus lift.

Bone Grafting Procedures

1. Autogenous Grafts: Use your own bone from another body area. Advantages include natural bone growth, but requires a second procedure.
2. Allogenic Grafts: Use processed cadaver bone as a scaffold for new bone growth. No second procedure required.
3. Xenogenic Grafts: Use processed animal bone as a framework for new bone. No second procedure needed.
4. Bone Graft Substitutes: Include synthetic materials like demineralized bone matrix, graft composites, and bone morphogenetic proteins to support bone growth without additional surgeries.
