“A Xenograft is the implantation of bovine (cow) bone,” says Dr.
Denine Rice. It is a xenograft because one graft of a species is being
taken and implanted into a different species. A xenograft is perfectly safe and
has been used successfully for many years. Ample bone can be
obtained and no secondary donor site is necessary. The use of this type of graft has increased
over the years due to the amount of tissue that is available compared to live
tissue from others. Anyone that is
completing this type of procedure should be aware of the risk factors that are
involved. However, when done correctly
by Dr. Rice, the risks decrease.
Once the graft has been placed the healing time is usually
four to six weeks. One of Inland Empire’s top dentists, Dr. Denine Rice will
walk you through the procedure before it has been completed. She and her team
can also discuss with you any questions regarding what to do after your surgery.
