Bone Grafting
|
| • | Autograft. An autograft uses bone from another region in your own body. Because we use your bone material, there is no risk of disease transmission or rejection. However, an additional surgical site is required. |
| • | Allograft. An allograft uses bone taken from a tissue bank. The bone is screened thoroughly to ensure that it is safe for use. The biggest benefit of this treatment is that you do not require an additional surgical site. |
| • | Xenograft. A xenograft uses non-human bone mass, typically from a cow. The bone is processed at very high temperatures to make it safe for use. This type of graft is often used when a significant amount of bone needs to be restored. Like an allograft, there is no need for additional surgical sites. |
| • | Alloplast. An alloplast uses synthetic grafting materials. These include demineralized bone matrix and bone morphogenic protein. |

Tooth loss is a big deal that affects every aspect of your life. When you lose teeth, biting, chewing, and speaking becomes more challenging. Your smile suffers. Tooth loss also affects the strength of your jawbone, leading to the loss of bone mass. Dental implants are an incredible option for replacing missing teeth. It is a unique treatment that uses small titanium posts to support dental restorations. The posts are surgically placed into your jawbone. Implants rely on the fusion of your jawbone to the posts for success. However, too little bone mass can compromise the stability of your treatment. At Dental Arts of Frederick, we can replace missing bone mass with bone grafting.
