The Bone Reconstruction Process

Before your surgery, you will meet with your oral surgeon to discuss the details of your procedure. During this consultation, your surgeon will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. On the day of your surgery, you can expect:

Anesthesia. You will be given general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Once you are asleep or relaxed, your surgeon will begin the surgery.

Incisions. Your surgeon will make small incisions in your gums to access the bone.

Grafting. In some cases, your surgeon may need to use bone grafts to rebuild the bone around your teeth. Bone grafts can be taken from another area of your body or from a donor.

Placing the implants. Once the bone has been rebuilt, your surgeon will place metal rods, plates, or screws into the bone to hold it in place. These implants will act as a foundation for your new teeth.

Healing. After your surgery, you will need to take some time to recover. Your mouth will be sore, and you will need to avoid chewing and eating hard foods. It is important to follow your surgeon's instructions for recovery so that your surgery is successful.
