Restorative Bone Grafting Midtown Manhattan, NYC
At Midtown Dental Services, we’re incredibly proud to offer cutting-edge bone and gum grafting in Midtown Manhattan. Our highly experienced team is committed to helping you restore and maintain your oral health with these innovative dental solutions.
What is Bone & Gum Grafting?
Bone Grafting is a sophisticated dental procedure that rebuilds or replaces lost bone tissue in the jaw. When teeth are missing for an extended period, the jawbone naturally begins to deteriorate, potentially compromising your ability to receive dental implants. At our office, we use state-of-the-art techniques and premium grafting materials to restore bone volume and density, creating the ideal foundation for implant placement and ensuring long-term success for your dental restoration.
Types of Bone Grafting We Offer
Socket Preservation (Bone Graft at Time of Extraction)
When a tooth needs to be extracted, the socket preservation procedure involves placing bone grafting material directly into the socket immediately after tooth removal. This proactive approach:
- Prevents the collapse of surrounding bone and tissue
- Maintains the natural contour of your jawbone and gums
- Creates an optimal site for future implant placement
- Significantly reduces healing time between extraction and implant procedures
- Minimizes the need for more extensive grafting later
Pre-Implant Bone Augmentation
For patients who have experienced significant bone loss, we offer comprehensive bone augmentation procedures designed to restore adequate bone volume before implant placement:
- Horizontal bone grafting to increase jawbone width
- Vertical bone grafting to increase jawbone height
- Sinus lifts for upper jaw implants
- Ridge expansion techniques for narrow jawbones
Throughout the entire process, we ensure you have a comfortable experience, providing appropriate temporary solutions while your bone graft heals. This thoughtful approach allows us to deliver optimal results tailored to your unique oral health needs and lifestyle demands here in the heart of New York City.
