Bone Grafting
|
| • | Autogenous graft. An autogenous graft is one that uses your bone material. The bone is considered to be living. As such, the graft material can promote new bone growth. Because it is your bone, there is no risk of infection or rejection. |
| • | Allogenic graft. An allogenic bone graft uses bone material from a donor. The bone is not living. It is just used to fill the void left behind by bone loss. Your bone grows around it. |
| • | Xenogenic graft. A xenogenic bone graft uses bone material from another species. The bone material is processed at extremely high temperatures, which reduces the risk of infection and rejection. |
| • | Synthetic materials. In some cases, we may choose to use a synthetic bone graft material to fill the spaces created by resorption. There are a few different types of synthetic graft materials such as demineralized bone matrix and bone morphogenic proteins. |

Tooth loss brings about many changes in your mouth. One of the most obvious changes is that your smile is affected. Simple tasks, such as eating and speaking can become a challenge. These issues only get worse the more teeth you lose. Something else happens that you can’t see, at least not right away. When you lose your teeth, your jawbone begins to resorb, or weaken. This causes several things to happen. Your jawbone changes shape. Your remaining teeth shift from their natural positions, throwing off your bite. Your lips and cheeks sink in, and your skin begins to sag. Wrinkles form around your lips and eyes. Suddenly you look 20 years older, almost overnight.
