What Is Bone Graft Surgery?
At times, your dentist may suggest a bone graft as a prerequisite for certain dental procedures, such as dental implants. This recommendation typically arises when a patient lacks sufficient jawbone density due to prior infection or trauma, causing bone resorption.
During a bone graft procedure, bone tissue is typically sourced from another part of the jaw and transplanted to the deficient area. This process aims to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for future dental implants. The focus is always on optimizing oral health and ensuring all components of the mouth can function effectively.

The Gum Graft
At Future of Dentistry, we perform gum grafts using state-of-the-art laser technology, in order to ensure minimal pain, faster healing times, and greater surgical accuracy.
The gum graft, also known as a periodontal graft, is a solution to gum recession, which can occur because of aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, periodontal disease, or just the natural positioning of the teeth.
Gum recession exposes sensitive nerve tissue beneath the teeth that can cause intense pain when stimulated by extreme temperatures. Gum graft surgery restores your gum line to its proper height, covering the nerves and protecting your teeth from decay while minimizing and even eliminating heightened sensitivities.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
One of the most common reasons you might need a dental surgery is for wisdom teeth removal. Your wisdom teeth are the last molars to form in your mouth, usually during your teen years when you already have a full set of teeth.
Wisdom teeth often become impacted—pushed up against the roots of the exposed teeth or trapped underneath the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can also grow in awkwardly due to an inability to break through the gums and create space for themselves.
This overcrowding from impacted wisdom teeth can lead to other oral problems, such as cysts, infections, cavities, or general tooth pain. To prevent this, we regularly perform wisdom teeth removal surgery years before the teeth have a chance to become impacted. The sooner we are able to remove the wisdom teeth, the more likely it is that you can have a speedy recovery.
Wisdom tooth removal surgery usually takes an hour and is performed in-office by our very own Dr. Casazza.
