Hello, today we’d like to introduce bone graft implants, which are performed when there is insufficient gum bone. We recommend this article to anyone considering implants.

Then, let’s get started~

Permanent teeth are teeth that must be used for a lifetime. Once they are damaged, natural recovery is impossible, which is why regular checkups and tooth care are important. However, cavities, periodontal disease, and other conditions can worsen, and tooth loss due to aging or trauma is also common.

When a tooth is lost, other teeth move into the empty space to fill it, and this can lead to the need for more extensive dental treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to receive treatment at the proper time to replace the space.

One way to replace a missing tooth is an implant, which is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally satisfying.

An implant is a treatment method in which an artificial root is placed into the jawbone and a tooth-shaped prosthesis is attached. However, to increase the success rate of implants, there must be sufficient quantity and quality of jawbone at the site where the procedure is performed.

If a tooth has been left untreated for a long time or if inflammation is severe due to periodontal disease, the condition of the bone may be unsuitable for implant placement.

The gums and jawbone are the basic foundation that supports the teeth. If this foundation is not in good condition, implant placement may be impossible, or the placed implant may not be properly stabilized.

If the gum thickness or depth is insufficient, bone grafting may be necessary to make artificial root placement possible.

A bone graft implant is a method of increasing the amount of bone by adding graft material to areas where bone is lacking before placing the artificial root. It is best to select a bone grafting method suited to the patient and then proceed with the grafting surgery.

If you have a chronic condition, it may affect implant outcomes, so if you have a chronic illness such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis, you should inform the medical staff before treatment.

Implant treatment is one of the more advanced dental procedures, and when bone grafting is required, specialized experience and know-how are necessary.

Therefore, when considering dental treatment, it is important to make your decision with a systematic care system and skilled medical staff in mind.

If you are considering implants, please keep this in mind and look for a dental clinic accordingly.
