Bone Grafting In Coral Springs
It's hard to imagine our bodies without bones—they provide the structure, support, and protection that keep everything in place. The alveolar bone, which surrounds and supports your teeth, plays a vital role in holding them firmly. However, its height, shape, and density can be affected by factors such as gum disease, tooth extraction, or trauma.
Once bone around the teeth is lost, it doesn’t regenerate on its own. In some cases, Dr. Saba Rizvi can encourage new bone growth using grafting materials. Each case is unique, but today’s advancements offer more solutions than ever for promoting jawbone regeneration. For example, when a tooth is removed, it leaves a large gap in the bone. While this space naturally fills in over time, the surrounding bone often shrinks. Placing grafting material at the time of extraction can help preserve bone volume—especially important if you’re considering a future dental implant.
Even areas of the jaw that have experienced significant bone loss can often be restored with specialized grafting materials, helping to reinforce and rebuild the bone structure. However, it's important to understand that bone loss caused by gum disease can leave severe defects around the teeth. While some of these areas may be suitable for grafting, others may suffer from permanent damage and reduced support for the teeth. That’s why preventing and managing gum disease with the help of your My Dentist For Life of Coral Springs team is far more effective for your long-term health than relying solely on corrective surgical grafts.
PRF Sticky Bone: What Is It?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Sticky Bone is an innovative technique that significantly improves the success of bone grafting procedures. By combining a patient's own blood components with bone graft material, this method offers multiple benefits:
- Accelerated Healing: PRF boosts the body’s natural healing response, promoting better integration of the graft.
- Reduced Inflammation: It minimizes post-surgical swelling and discomfort.
- Quicker Recovery: PRF supports faster healing of both soft tissue and bone.
Incorporating PRF into bone grafting not only enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment but also helps patients return to their normal routines more quickly.
