Dr. Barkin offers various bone grafting procedures tailored to your specific needs.
Performed immediately after tooth extraction to preserve the bone and prepare the site for future implant placement.
Rebuilds the natural contour of the jawbone ridge that has resorbed after tooth loss or injury.
Adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of molars and premolars when the sinus cavity is too close to the jaw.
Uses a larger piece of bone to rebuild areas with significant bone loss, often from the patient's own jaw.
3D imaging and thorough assessment determine the extent of bone loss and the most appropriate grafting technique.
Using your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials, Dr. Barkin precisely places the graft material.
The graft integrates with your natural bone over 4-9 months, creating new, strong bone tissue.
Regular monitoring ensures proper healing before proceeding with implant placement or other treatment.
Bone graft material can come from your own body (autograft), a donor (allograft), animal sources (xenograft), or synthetic materials. Dr. Barkin will recommend the best option for your situation.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed medications.
Healing time varies by procedure type and individual factors, typically ranging from 4-9 months. Some cases may qualify for simultaneous grafting and implant placement.
Bone grafting has a very high success rate, typically over 90%. Proper technique and post-operative care are key factors in successful outcomes.
