The bone that has receded from your teeth cannot regrow. However, Dr. Manju Kejriwal can use grafting materials to help fill in the bone in certain cases. Each situation is unique, but there are now more options available than ever before to promote regeneration of the jaw bone. When a tooth is extracted, it creates a large hole in the bone. Although the area will eventually fill in, it tends to shrink, causing the bone to move away from the surrounding teeth. To prevent this, grafting materials can be applied during the tooth extraction to maintain the existing bone level. Bone grafts are especially beneficial if you plan on getting an implant-supported treatment in the future.

Even areas of the jaw bone that have already deteriorated can benefit from specialized grafting material. This material can provide additional strength to any part of the jawbone. It's important to note that periodontal disease can lead to serious complications around the affected teeth. While some of these areas may be suitable for bone grafting, many of them have permanent bone loss. It is more beneficial to your health to control gum disease with the help of the top dentists in Cincinnati at MK Dental Excellence rather than relying solely on surgical grafts.
