Bone Grafting In South Florida

We can only imagine what our bodies would look like without bones. This scaffolding provides support, form and protection to everything around it. The bone around your teeth, alveolar bone, serves to hold the teeth firmly in place. The particular height, shape, and density of this specialized bone can be compromised by gum disease, tooth removal, or other forms of trauma.

If bone shrinks away around your teeth, it never grows back. In some cases, bone can be encouraged to fill in with grafting materials placed by Dr. Rizvi. Every situation offers a different scenario, but more options than ever exist to promote bone repair in the jaw. For example, when a tooth needs removal a large hole then exists in the bone. While it will fill in naturally, the site tends to shrink, drawing bone away from the area. Grafting materials can be placed simply at the time of tooth removal to help preserve the bone. Grafts prove especially beneficial if you’d like to consider an implant-supported replacement in the future.

Even previously collapsed areas can often benefit from specialized grafting material, bolstering nearly any part of the jaw bone. It’s important to note: bone destroyed by gum disease often leaves significant defects around teeth. While some of these areas are grafting candidates, many of them experience irreversible bone loss and compromised support of the teeth. Controlling gum disease with your My Dentist For Life Of Plantation team will serve your health much better than corrective surgical grafts.

PRF Sticky Bone: What Is It?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Sticky Bone is an advanced technique that enhances bone grafting outcomes. This approach involves mixing a patient's own blood components with the bone graft material, providing several benefits:

  • Enhanced Healing: PRF stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, improving graft integration.
  • Reduced Inflammation: It helps decrease post-operative swelling and discomfort.
  • Faster Recovery: PRF accelerates the healing of both soft and hard tissues.

Using PRF in bone grafting ensures better results and a quicker return to normal activities, enhancing the effectiveness of the procedure.
