Bone Grafting - Palm Beach County, FL

Bone Grafting from a Maxillofacial Expert

Jawbone Preservation Made Easy

Your jawbone is the essential support system for your teeth and facial structure, but when teeth are lost or extracted, it can lead to bone loss and subsequent oral health issues. Bone resorption can cause shifting teeth, facial sagging, and jaw joint problems. We offer bone grafting services to prevent these complications at Profiles Oral & Facial Surgery Center in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Jupiter, FL, and Wellington, FL.

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Makepeace Charles specializes in comprehensive bone grafting procedures, including socket preservation and sinus lifts. With years of advanced surgical training and expertise, we are equipped to address complex bone loss cases resulting from various factors such as extensive tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or congenital deformities. We aim to restore your jawbone’s structure and volume, providing a solid foundation for dental implants and ensuring long-term oral health and function.

The Process for Restoring Lost Bone

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves placing dental bone graft material in areas where the bone has resorbed or a tooth has been extracted. Bone grafting aims to restore the proper density, height, and width of the bone in the jaw. Bone grafts can be either from the patient or a donor source and may be bone blocks or granules. In many cases, we offer bone grafting treatment before we place dental implants or during implant surgery to ensure the long-term success of dental implants. Below are additional bone grafting techniques.

Socket Preservation

Socket preservation is a bone grafting procedure we complete after tooth extraction. This involves packing bone graft material into the empty tooth socket. Socket preservation slows the resorption process where the tooth is missing. It can also help preserve the health of the bone until a dental implant can be placed.

Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation refers to a bone grafting procedure that restores the natural density and contours of part or the entirety of a jaw ridge. Restoring healthy bone levels to a jaw arch can make dentures more comfortable and fitted to your gumline.

Sinus Lifts

When a bone in the premolar or molar areas of the jaw has lost density or volume, you may benefit from a sinus lift. Gently lifting the sinus cavity, bone grafting material can be placed beneath to restore proper bone height and density. Our skilled oral surgeon is the best choice for complex surgery if you need this treatment.

The Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting seems like a functional treatment to improve oral health. However, this treatment also has more widespread benefits. Tooth and bone loss because of decay, trauma, disease, or genetics can lead to numerous problems that affect your ability to eat, facial esthetics, oral and physical health, and personal well-being. By restoring bone levels in your jaw, we can treat infection and disease and replace missing teeth with dental implants in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Jupiter, FL, and Wellington, FL. Having a smile restored to proper function and esthetics can significantly improve your confidence, health, and quality of life!
