Contact UsWhat Is a Bone Graft?
Your jawbone's strength is key to your overall oral health. If you have a weakened jawbone due to missing teeth or physical trauma, you may require bone grafting so the jaw can securely hold both your natural teeth and dental implants. A bone graft helps to strengthen and build up your jawbone so it is healthy enough to support an implant. At OraCare Dentistry, Dr. Savitha Bathini performs osseous surgery to strengthen your jawbone for subsequent dental implants to replace weak or missing teeth. Make a consultation at our office in Plano, TX to get more information on bone grafting.
How Does a Bone Graft Work?
The exact process of your bone graft procedure will depend on where the graft comes from and how much grafting is needed. The donor bone may be removed from your own body from areas, like your shin, chin, or hip, which is called an autograft. An autograft may be performed in our office using sedation and local anesthesia, or in a surgical facility under general anesthesia. Other graft sources include an allograft, which harvests bone from another human. A xenograft uses bone taken from an animal, typically a cow. Another option is a synthetic bone graft known as an alloplast. In your consultation, Dr. Bathini will go over your grafting options and help you decide on the best choice.
As soon as the selected graft is ready to be placed, Dr. Bathini will prepare the areas being treated and make an incision in the gums to expose the bone. The graft will be attached to your bone with proteins and collagen that stimulate growth in the graft. The incision will be closed with sutures and the mouth will be cleaned.
OraCare Dentistry Reviews
Everyone here is super professional and very welcoming! Having a lot of anxiety going into the appointment, they were very reassuring and patient along the way. Definitely would recommend this practice to anyone!
Dr. Bathini and her staff are the BEST! She is extremely thorough, has amazing bedside manner, and you truly feel cared for. Her office is immaculately clean and she uses really state of the art technology to take images and x-rays of your mouth. She also spent a lot of time TEACHING me about my mouth and proper brushing technique. Her staff is also very warm, and kind. They offered me water while I was waiting and made me feel very comfortable before seeing the doctor. I only come to Plano a few times a year, but I wish I lived here because I would go to her all of the time!
Great experience! The staff was very accommodating and nice. They put on a movie and explained everything about my oral health in friendly terms. Highly recommend!
The staff is amazing, the doctor is soo informative. I’ve always had a bad experience with my doctors but Oracare has been equal parts homey and professional for my needs. I highly recommend.
We have an absolute great experience with Oracare dentistry starting from booking the appointments till we are done with our dental procedures. Dr. Bathini and her support staffs are great human beings taking utmost care of their patients which is much needed as its bit scary when you have those bad tooth infections or pains around.
