Bone Grafting
in Fort Mcmurray

There are many materials available for bone grafting but your dentist will always choose the best option for your personal needs. The material used during the process will eventually be replaced by your own naturally occurring bone growth.

There are 4 types of bone grafting we can use.. We will determine the best option for you based on an evaluation of your medical history, benefits and risks of surgery, and your bone loss.

Our team at Franklin Dental will discuss all the options with you when you come in for a bone grafting assessment.

Bone grafting can often be done under local anaesthesia. Since there may be a small incision in your gums to insert bone grafting material you may experience some tenderness in the area. Should you require something for the pain we usually recommend an anti-inflammatory to sooth your discomfort.

Depending on the type of bone grafting procedure performed, you may require a few weeks to a few months healing time. 

After surgery, you may have skin or gum swelling. You can even have bruising and minor bleeding. To avoid major pain and issues, we help your healing process by placing you on a soft foods diet. In order to heal you need to floss, brush and rinse your mouth 2-3 times a day with non-alcoholic mouthwash. We want you to ask us questions, after all, that’s what we are here for. 

Ask your dentist about implant tools that will help you get into where your toothbrush or floss is unable to. Come visit us every 6 months so we can monitor your healing and make sure everything is moving along as it should.
