Waiting to replace a lost tooth has its consequences. Bone resorption begins soon after your tooth is lost and makes it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to properly place dental implants. Luckily, bone grafting can make you an ideal candidate for dental implants.
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is an oral surgery that is performed to increase bone density in patients who have experienced resorption after tooth loss or need additional bone in their jaw to support a dental implant. Dental implants are the best way to restore missing teeth as they look and feel natural and can last a lifetime with proper care. Bone grafting is an initial step that can expand your options for tooth replacement.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency in Doral?
Not every dental concern requires same-day attention — but some absolutely do. A dental emergency is any situation involving acute pain, visible damage to teeth or gums, or an immediate threat to your oral health. Acting quickly can mean the difference between saving or losing a tooth.
Common dental emergencies we treat at our Doral office include:
- Severe toothache or persistent throbbing pain
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
- Lost filling or dental crown
- Dental abscess or painful oral infection
- Gum injuries with bleeding or swelling
- Facial swelling related to a tooth or jaw
- Dental injuries from sports, accidents, or falls
