Bone Grafting

It may be surprising to learn, but tooth loss is a relatively common concern among adults. Injury, blunt force trauma, poor dental hygiene and periodontal disease are all leading causes of tooth loss and can cause more trouble in the mouth than just gaps in a person’s smile. A missing tooth or multiple missing teeth can significantly compromise the integrity of the entire mouth. When a tooth is missing from the gum line, the jawbone will begin to deteriorate over time. With this deterioration, the jawbone becomes an inadequate support for the remaining teeth inside the mouth. This bone deterioration can cause continual dental problems, and it can make future dental treatments unsuccessful.

At ATX Family Dental, we offer bone grafting procedures to patients whose jawbone needs stabilization in order to establish the integrity of the mouth and keeping the teeth intact. Dr. Adam Gutwein, DMD is an expert in cosmetic dentistry and offers his specialized services to patients suffering from jaw deterioration. ATX Family Dental is a comprehensive dental practice that utilizes the latest in technology and dental advancements to provide personalized and precise dental care.

Bone grafting requires filling the deficient jawbone with bone or bone substitute. Dr. Gutwein will discuss options with each patient on an individualized basis to determine the best solution. This dental restoration procedure is highly effective at stabilizing the entire mouth and preventing the continual cycle of tooth loss. Please contact ATX Family Dental today to discuss bone grafting and to determine if this advanced procedure is right for you.
