BONE GRAFTING FOR BONE LOSS

Teeth play a variety of important roles beyond simply allowing you to bite and chew. Having a full set of teeth is also critical in maintaining the overall health of your jawbone. When a tooth or teeth is lost, the part of the jaw that is responsible for anchoring teeth (alveolar bone) can begin to dissolve, and jawbone loss can begin to develop. Patients who experience jawbone loss can face a range of associated issues, such as a collapsed facial profile and issues developing in the teeth that are remaining. Patients who experience this loss of bone may require a bone graft, which is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting bone or using a synthetic material to repair joints or bones that have become damaged, or to help facilitate the growth of new bone. At Lake Norman Oral and Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. If you would like to learn more about our services, or schedule an appointment for bone grafting, contact us today. New patients are welcome and a referral from another doctor is not required.

THE GRAFTING PROCESS

01
Initial Evaluation
Dr. Haigney assesses bone density and volume using advanced imaging to determine the best grafting approach for your situation.
02
Graft Placement
Bone graft material is carefully placed in the deficient area and secured. The material may be from your own body, a donor, or synthetic.
03
Healing Period
The graft integrates with your existing bone over several months. This process creates new, strong bone tissue.
04
Follow-up Treatment
Once healing is complete, you can proceed with implant placement or other planned treatments on a solid foundation.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
