Bone Grafting Santa Rosa CA
Fountaingrove Oral Surgery
Major & Minor Bone Grafting
Missing teeth over a period of time can cause your jaw bone to atrophy, or resorb. This often results in poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for the placement of dental implants as well as long term shifting of remaining teeth and changes to facial structure. Most patients, in these situations, are not candidates for dental implants.
Fortunately, today we have the ability to grow bone where it is needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, but it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.

Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. In addition, special membranes may be utilized that dissolve under the gum to protect the bone graft, as well as encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration, or guided tissue regeneration.
Major bone grafts are typically performed to repair defects of the jaws. These defects may arise as a result of traumatic injuries, tumor surgery, or congenital defects. Large defects are repaired using the patient’s own bone. This bone is harvested from a number of different areas depending on the size needed. The skull (cranium), hip (iliac crest), and lateral knee (tibia), are common donor sites. These procedures are routinely performed in an operating room and require a hospital stay.

Patient Review By John D
Dr. Hedayati and his team members are the best! I had a cracked molar that led to a surgical extraction, bone graft and a future dental implant, planned at a later date. From Caren at the front desk to Daisy, the fantastic Surgical Assistant. She is a major component in making this as pleasant experience. Eloisa was assisting Daisy making the procedure go smoothly as possible. Dr. Hedayati is the best Oral Surgeon. Everyone I interacted with in Dr. Hedayati's office was a true professional. I was quoted a price during my first consultation by Caren and that price stayed, no hidden costs. I was told exactly what to expect during the procedures and during the follow up and that is how things happened. I had zero surprises throughout this entire process. I was a little apprehensive until I met the staff that would be taking care of me. They put me at ease immediately. I hope I don't need an Oral Surgeon again but if I do I will be calling Dr. Hedayati's team. THANK YOU!

Patient Review By Monica V
Monica V. I just had a dental implant placed by Dr. Hedayati at Fountaingrove Oral Surgery. Everything went smooth and painless from start to finish. Dr. Hedayati and his team: Caren, Daisy & Eloisa were not only very professional, but also, very caring! I was explained each step that would be taking place, which I appreciated. As soon as I walked in the office, I was acknowledged by Caren. Everyone is incredibly friendly. The professionalism Dr. Hedayati exhibits is stellar, but he also has a fun side & hums while in surgery. If you are looking for a dedicated, concerned team, Fountaingrove Oral Surgery is for you. I was recommended by my general dentist and I will recommend Dr. Hedayati to everyone I know that is in need of his services.

Patient Review By Jennifer H
I was nervous to have my tooth pulled but Dr. Hedayati and his staff made the procedure easy and pain-free. I am so thankful my friend, Trish, referred me to his office. During my consultation they answered all of my questions and gave me a lot to think about. At my appointment the staff was through with their questions before the procedure and afterwards his assistant spent time to give me instructions and answer my questions. During the procedure both Dr. H. and his assistant were reassuring and kept me informed me as to what was coming next. Thank you all for making this a good experience.

Patient Review By Jo A
I was so worried about this procedure as I don't do well at dentist appointments. My experience was great! I wasn't able to go to sleep, due to my health, which made me terrified of what I would remember. I don't remember a thing. The healing was fast and went very well. The follow up visit was also great. Dr. Hedayafi is totally looking out for his patients, not his check book. He could have made lots of money by giving me what I believed I wanted. Instead, he talked to me about what was best for me and promised me he would take care of me. And he did! I feel very confident about him and his staff. They are all Wonderful! Thank you very much! I definitely would recommend him to everyone.
