My experience with Artistic Dental is always polite, caring, personable, and professional. I came here after having gone years without seeing a dentist and they took time to do a careful analysis of how to place me on a treatment plan to having a healthy mouth again, without suggesting removal of all my teeth that were compromised or beginning to fail. Their service approach is very gentle and informative as they move through the treatment keeping you aware of what is taking place. Their passion for patient care is tremendous and greatly appreciated. If you are looking for professionals who are great at their craft, look no further. I am grateful for the attention to detail and the customer service approach.

Take a Step Towards Your Dream Smile With a Bone Graft
You can replace a single tooth or entire arch of teeth with dental implants. You’ll love what these artificial tooth roots do for your smile. However, you need a sufficient foundation for your implants.
You may have lost a large amount of bone mass in your jaw if you’ve lived without teeth for a while. However, you can still pursue an implant procedure. A bone graft can make it possible for you to create a foundation for your new teeth. Here is what you can expect:
- Your dentist will plan your grafting using digital X-rays, a digital scanner, and intraoral photos.
- When it comes time for your procedure, Dr. Ekpenyong will strategically place either synthetic bone material or donor bone in your jaw.
- Your mouth will be numb while your dentist places the bone material. You won’t feel a thing and remain comfortable.
- Over the course of a few months, this material will stimulate the growth of new bone cells.
- Your jaw will soon be ready for implants and new replacement teeth – all because of a bone graft procedure.

Common Questions About Bone Grafts
A bone graft is basically filling in or building up a thin or weak jawbone. A bone graft can fill space left after an extraction, or we can use it to boost the strength of a jawbone battling an infection brought on by gum disease. Your dentist will simply place material along your bone that will encourage new bone growth. While the procedure itself is quick, it will take several months for your bone to respond and heal.
One of the most common reasons for bone grafts is to strengthen a jaw so that it can successfully support implants. The more time that has passed since you’ve lost teeth, the more likely you may need a graft to receive implants. Without tooth roots to provide stimulation, the bone in your jaw begins to shrink – as much as 25 percent in the first year after tooth loss.
A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate, so you won’t lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.
