Maximise Your Dental Implant Success With Bone Grafting Perth

Depending on the patient’s specific circumstances, bone grafting is a very important and necessary step in the process of dental implant placement. In patients with periodontal disease, It is used to replace or restore lost or insufficient bone or soft tissue around a tooth, which helps create an environment conducive to permanent dental implant anchoring. Without adequate bone support, your dentist will not be able to perform a successful procedure.

Dental bone grafts should be performed with utmost comfort and care. Local anesthesia is used to numb the site so you can be pain-free during the procedure. At our clinic, we want to perform our bone grafts and sinus lift methods without pain and discomfort.

Bone grafting is a complex dental procedure that can take anywhere between 20 minutes and 90 minutes to complete. Factors like the location of the bone, the amount required for grafting, as well as any other necessary pre-procedures such as tooth extraction could influence its duration.

Generally speaking, it takes 2 weeks to 3 months before patients can return to full activity level post-surgery (with permission from their dentists). In terms of healing timescales, 3 to 9 months time is the estimate, however, this also depends on factors such as age and lifestyle habits. Older individuals also generally require more time for wound healing than younger ones do—and smoking has been known to prolong healing processes too.

All oral surgery has potential risks but can be avoided provided you go to a highly-trained, experienced dentist like our team at DaVinci Smiles. Though rare, risks with bone grafting include infection, bleeding(particularly in the area of surgery), nerve damage due to anesthesia and complications from donor bone material during transplantation. Additionally, there can be general anesthetic-related issues like dizziness or nausea. Your dentist will discuss the risks and complications during your consultation so you can be aware and follow protocols to reduce such risks.

It’s good to know that the average cost is typically between $2,500-$3,000. Take advantage of our complimentary phone consultation to get a better understanding of the cost expected and to receive an accurate estimate depending on your individual needs.

Any prior bone graft surgeries must be given 3 to 6 months to heal before the implant procedure can occur. To know more about the process of our dental bone graft in Perth, reach out at DaVinci Smile for a consultation.
