Was I told about bone grafting after a dental implant assessment? What kind of add-on is this? Presumably, this is a question that many edentulous patients ask during the consultation. Please don't be too suspicious that you have been pitted, some friends have been missing teeth for several years, which will lead to the gradual resorption of alveolar bone and bone loss. There are also friends who have suffered from periodontal disease for a long time, and their alveolar bone health is also not satisfactory, and they will lose and shrink more or less according to the degree of periodontal inflammation.
Bone meal is like the soil that fills the pit when planting trees, helping the saplings to stabilize and prevent them from being knocked down by external factors. On the other hand, if the alveolar bone is not large enough, even if the doctor has superb skills and the implant is successful, the stability of the implant will be compromised during the recovery period, and it may even damage the tooth nerve during chewing. In addition, some people have too large maxillary sinuses or less alveolar bone itself. If the top of the bone in the edentulous area is close to the maxillary sinus, direct dental implantation regardless of the actual situation is prone to maxillary sinus perforation, infection and inflammation. Even if you are very reluctant to terminate the allogeneic shares, you can also take a look at the autologous bone grafting technology, which is also a good choice when your own conditions allow, the medical qualifications are reliable, and the doctor's skills are guaranteed.
In addition, one of the reasons why we choose dental implants is also for natural beauty. When you're socializing with people in close proximity, you want the façade to be passable. However, if the root is not covered with enough bone and gums, it is not aesthetically pleasing to expose the root of the tooth that is too long, so since you have decided to have a dental implant, it is not recommended to save yourself if you need bone grafting in order to consider it in many ways. If you are really not at ease, you can also consult several doctors, and if they unanimously recommend bone grafting, then follow the advice of professionals
