Have you experienced bone loss in your jaw following tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or facial trauma? At Park Smiles NYC, our oral surgery specialist Dr. Aryeh Mahana provides sophisticated bone grafting procedures that rebuild lost structure, creating ideal conditions for dental implant placement and improved facial aesthetics. Experience expert surgical care with predictable results at our state-of-the-art Manhattan practice.
Dental bone grafting is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rebuild or augment the jawbone in areas where bone volume has been lost or is naturally deficient. This regenerative technique creates a stronger foundation for dental implants, supports facial structures, and prevents further deterioration of the jaw following tooth loss.
The process involves carefully placing bone grafting materials in deficient areas to stimulate new bone formation through a biological process called osteoinduction, where your body gradually converts the grafting material into your own natural bone. Modern bone grafting utilizes a variety of advanced materials, including processed allograft (donor bone), xenograft (typically bovine-derived), synthetic options, and in some cases, your own bone harvested from another site in your jaw.
These procedures may range from simple socket preservation performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss, to more complex ridge augmentation that rebuilds significant deficiencies, or specialized sinus lift procedures that create adequate bone height in the upper jaw. Each technique is carefully selected based on your specific anatomical situation, the extent of bone loss, and your treatment goals.
At Park Smiles NYC, our Manhattan surgical team utilizes advanced imaging technology and precise surgical techniques to ensure optimal bone regeneration with minimal discomfort, creating the foundation needed for successful implant placement and long-term oral health.
Rebuild lost jaw bone with expert grafting procedures. Our Manhattan specialist provides precision bone regeneration for optimal implant foundation.
Dental bone grafting provides critical advantages that significantly enhance both functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients with bone deficiencies. The most fundamental benefit is creating adequate bone volume for successful dental implant placement, ensuring sufficient stability, appropriate positioning, and optimal stress distribution during function. This structural foundation supports long-term implant success and prevents complications that might otherwise occur with implants placed in compromised bone.
Beyond enabling implant placement, bone regeneration helps preserve facial contours and prevent the collapsed appearance often associated with long-term tooth loss. The jawbone provides essential support for facial muscles and skin, and its preservation through grafting procedures helps maintain a more youthful appearance by preventing the sunken look that typically develops as bone deteriorates following tooth loss.
For many patients, comprehensive bone grafting eliminates the need for treatment compromises like angled implants, shortened implants, or inadequate implant numbers that might affect long-term success. By restoring proper bone dimensions, these specialized procedures allow for ideal implant positioning and appropriate prosthetic design, creating results that provide optimal function and aesthetics without the limitations imposed by inadequate bone volume.
At Park Smiles NYC, your bone grafting procedure is performed by Dr. Aryeh Mahana, our dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgeon with advanced training in complex bone reconstruction and regenerative techniques. Dr. Mahana brings extensive experience in various grafting approaches, ensuring skilled management of even challenging cases requiring substantial bone development.
What distinguishes our Manhattan approach to bone grafting is our commitment to precision and individualized treatment planning. Dr. Mahana utilizes a comprehensive analysis of your specific defect pattern to select the most appropriate grafting materials and surgical technique, rather than applying a standardized approach to diverse bone deficiencies. This customized methodology results in more predictable outcomes with optimal bone regeneration tailored to your unique situation.
Our patient-centered philosophy extends throughout your surgical experience, from detailed pre-surgical consultation and thorough preparation to attentive post-operative care that guides you through each phase of the healing process. We prioritize both your comfort during treatment and the quality of your final outcome, ensuring that your bone grafting procedure creates the ideal foundation for successful restoration of both function and aesthetics.
Our Manhattan practice offers the advantage of bone grafting performed by a specialist with specific training in advanced bone reconstruction techniques rather than a general dentist. Dr. Mahana’s focused expertise in oral and maxillofacial surgery ensures comprehensive understanding of complex bone defects and the sophisticated techniques required for successful regeneration. This specialized knowledge translates to more precise execution, reduced complication rates, and optimal outcomes even for challenging cases requiring extensive reconstruction. For patients requiring bone grafting, this specialized approach provides greater predictability and efficiency than treatment with practitioners who perform these procedures less frequently.
Your bone grafting procedure benefits from our utilization of premium bone grafting materials and biological modifiers that optimize regenerative outcomes. Our Manhattan practice offers multiple grafting options including processed allograft materials with proven regenerative properties, advanced xenografts with optimal resorption profiles, and sophisticated synthetic options with specific characteristics beneficial for different augmentation scenarios. For appropriate cases, we incorporate growth factors derived from your own blood components that enhance healing and graft integration. This comprehensive approach to material selection ensures that your procedure utilizes the most appropriate combination for your specific defect type and reconstruction goals.
Unlike practices focusing solely on the surgical phase, our Manhattan team provides seamless coordination between bone grafting and subsequent implant treatment. Our collaborative approach ensures that bone reconstruction is precisely planned to accommodate specific implant positions determined by your final prosthetic requirements. This integrated planning prevents potential complications from misalignment between surgical and restorative phases. For our patients, this comprehensive perspective creates more efficient treatment sequences with optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes from the completed restoration, whether for single teeth or full-arch rehabilitation.
After tooth extraction, if the walls of the socket are very thick, they will usually fill naturally with bone in two to three months. However, when the walls of your socket are very thin (such as in your upper and lower front teeth), this type of healing will not be as predictable. In these situations, a bone graft is often placed at the time of tooth extraction to help your body fill in the empty socket with bone. This step will maintain the width and volume of bone you will need for implant placement several months later.
There may be inadequate bone for implant placement if your tooth was removed many years ago and your bony ridge is extremely thin. In this case, a bone graft can be placed next to the thin bone and allowed to heal for up to six months. After the graft has fused to your pre-existing bone, the ridge will be re-entered and the implant placed. Bone grafting is usually a relatively comfortable in-office procedure. Many different bone grafting materials are available, including your own bone.
You may also need bone grafting if the sinus cavities in your upper jaw are very large, or very low, and extend into the tooth-bearing areas. This often occurs when teeth in the back of a person’s upper jaw have been removed many years before, and the amount of bone available for implant placement is limited. A “sinus grafting procedure” is then required. Most often, it is performed in our office with local anesthesia and perhaps sedation.
During this procedure, the membrane that lines the sinus will be located and elevated. Bone will then be added under the sinus membrane to restore the bone height and ensure that dental implants of an adequate length can be placed. This procedure often can be performed at the time of implant placement.
With modern techniques and appropriate anesthesia, you should experience minimal discomfort during the bone grafting procedure itself. Most patients report moderate post-operative discomfort for 3-5 days, typically described as similar to that following tooth extraction and effectively managed with prescribed medications. The majority of discomfort occurs during the first 72 hours, with significant improvement by the fifth day. Our Manhattan surgical team provides comprehensive comfort management through refined surgical techniques that minimize tissue trauma, appropriate prescribed medications, and detailed aftercare instructions that support optimal healing. Most patients find that the actual experience involves less discomfort than they anticipated prior to treatment.
Bone graft healing occurs in stages, with initial soft tissue closure typically complete within 2-3 weeks, while the underlying bone regeneration continues for several months. Most patients can return to normal activities within 5-7 days following the procedure, though some activity restrictions may continue slightly longer. The complete maturation of grafted bone, where the material fully converts to your natural bone, generally requires 4-6 months depending on the specific materials used, graft location, and individual healing factors. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, Dr. Mahana provides a personalized healing timeline based on your specific procedure and individual health factors, including expectations for when subsequent implant placement can be performed.
For many patients, performing bone grafting simultaneously with tooth extraction (socket preservation) offers significant advantages in treatment efficiency and overall outcomes. This proactive approach prevents the substantial bone loss that typically occurs following extraction and often creates immediate conditions suitable for future implant placement. However, when active infection is present or when the extraction site has specific anatomical challenges, separate procedures may be recommended for optimal results. During your consultation at our Manhattan practice, Dr. Mahana thoroughly evaluates your situation to determine whether simultaneous or staged procedures would provide the best outcome for your specific condition, considering both biological and practical factors in this recommendation.
