Bone Grafts Can Change Your Smile




Dr. Denine Rice and her team are able to provide multiple options if your smile is impacted by gum loss due to trauma, periodontal disease or oral cancer.  Your smile is as important as your body and bone grafting can provide an excellent way to restore your smile.  

There are multiple types of bone grafts. Some use bone that is from an animal, but it can also be removed from other parts of your body and placed in the jawbone. Placing new bone in the jaw can strengthen bone that has been lost in order to place implants to restore missing teeth.  Depending on your needs, Dr. Rice may recommend the bone used for your procedure to be synthetically created in a lab. No matter which type of bone is utilized, the impact will allow you to have a restored and healthy smile.

If your jawbone has been impacted due to trauma and there are ridges in the jawbone, bone graft surgery can allow your jaw to have a more uniform look. Once the bone is placed in the right places, it will fuse to your jawbone.

Your smile is the universal way to communicate with the world. If your smile is communicating something other than health and happiness call Periodontist Dr. Denine Rice and her team today for more options.
