I'm in the middle of a bone grafting procedure. Presently waiting for the bone to fill in. I have watched an untold number of dental implant explainer videos and none of them did as thorough a job as you did here. Thank you!
@@manuelsoledad5505It was $399/tooth, I had 5 pulled. But another $400/tooth for the extraction. I got bone spurs coming out the side of my gum on one of them. I'm not enthused buy it. Reno, NV
Excellent video... I wanted to know before my consultation visit in a couple of weeks answers regarding extractions, implants and grafting bone... which wasn't included in my #19 tooth extraction 4 days ago. So how long to wait after tooth extraction for bone graft install if found that it's needed, next to wait for the implant? It's nice to learn (while watching this particular video) it can be done during the installation of the implant, therefore unnecessary to wait an additional 3 months for bone graft, after already waiting for the gums to heal after the extraction date... This is great news indeed....... Thank you, Doctor, I greatly appreciate it...
The bone that is used for grafts can come from human, animal, or synthetic sources. Animal bone can sometimes come from equine or porcine sources. Hope this helps!
About 50% of the bone grafts used in the world come from bovine. The rest are either synthetic, pigs, or even the patient's own body, but the most common is bovine.
The type of bone graft material will depend based on the area being grafted and also on the goals of the grafting procedure. Your surgeon may also be more familiar and experienced with certain types of grafts. Some upper molars may or may not need sinus lifts depending on the quantity/quality of bone present.
There are a number of different types of bone grafts. Some of the most common sources are from cadaver, from animal, or synthetic. Regardless of where the bone is sourced from, it will be treated to properly disinfect and sterilize the material before it comes anywhere near the dental office. Hope this helps!
My ortho recommend bridging but i choose the implant. Only because im concern about my facial structure after pulling those 4premolars. Im on my adult brace right now im 37. I was inform that my 2lower molars cant be move both sides because of boneloss. Im stress about it. I thought i was only paying for the brace now leads to 2 implants and bone grafting. My question is can i have bonegraft then move my molars instead of implant? Will that be possible? Im allergenic to certain things and an implant is a foreign object. Hope u can ans dr. Tx.
After any dental surgical procedure, it is always a good idea to stick to a gentler diet. Nothing too hot or spicy. Nothing you need to be chewing too hard. Avoid foods with smaller bits like rice or seed-containing foods which can get trapped around the grafted site. Hope this helps! Check out our extraction and implant post-op videos which may provide you some additional information!
Bone grafts can certainly be done before or even years after a tooth is extracted. It all depends on the situation, so it may be a good idea to get things checked out! Hope that helps!
Depending on the situation, there may be some instances where a bone graft may not be the best choice. There are many different teeth replacement options including implants, dentures, and bridges. Make sure to watch our video series comparing implants, dentures, and bridges for more information regarding the differences! Also, make sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist so they can see what is going on, and can tell you what your best options may be!
After the first few days of healing, you should definitely be okay to have chicken! Just make sure that you are having it in smaller and softer pieces. Make sure that it does not get stuck around the grafted site. Hope this helps!
There are some circumstances where a portion of a tooth will be left behind. If you are concerned about what might be going on in the area, may be a good time to get things checked out with your dentist!
This can be normal, as you likely have had to keep your mouth open for quite some time, and also had a lot of suctioning done too which can dry out your mouth quite a bit.
Hi sir, Im 50 and I'm getting full mouth implants hopefully by 6 months from now. I'm going for sinus lift & bone graft surgery under full anesthesia some time next week. Doctor told me that they need, 2 cubic like pieces for my upper jaw which they'll take from my own jaw(or chin) and and also need 2 smaller but longer pieces for my lower which i think they are going to use synthetic fillers for. Do you think it will be painful. I still don't fully understand, why do they want to use my chin, as at first he suggested using my hip but decided he didn't need a very big piece so now is suggesting using my own jaw for grafting. Will it have complications. Do you think my gums will recover well. Do you think i should go on with it or chicken out of the whole procedure. They told me they perform a lot of these operations, but at the moment its terrifying me..What do you think i should do, as im in urgent need of a full set of theeth. Im sick of dentures. Sorry for the long comment.
Sounds like you have a good plan set for how you can get your mouth to a healthy state! Any kind of dental procedures do come with some amount of discomfort, and also comes with the possibility of complications, but do not let this dissuade you! The long term effects of living without teeth are far worse and more uncomfortable than the short time that you will be enduring while you are getting things fixed! Hope this helps~
Generally, the placement of the bone graft itself is a completely harmless procedure. However, this often comes along with the removal of a tooth or some kind of gum or implant surgery which is where a little more of the discomfort may come in. You will generally be completely numb for the procedure itself, but you should expect some minor discomfort in the days following the procedure.
I'm getting bone soon for an implant, if the tooth donor took the Covid shot could I get the effects of the Covid shot and boosters? I have not had the covid shot and I've never gotten the Covid virus.
Generally, bone graft materials are extensively sterilized and prepared so that it is literally just the bone mineral material, with out any other contaminations present, so you should not need to be worried about any covid related transmissions
This definitely sounds normal. Gums can remain sensitive for few months after the procedure as things are still healing and the gums are still getting tighter around the teeth and bone.
