Dental implant and bone graft?

by Matrix Dental Laboratory

Hi I questioned a question recently about a dental implant and getting a bone graft. Researcher answered and clarified that they place the allograft (bone graft) in and that does not grow but your own bone grows onto it. My question is -is there anything to do or eat to be better for the bone growning. Should I take more calcium, drink more milk or do anything that would benefit my bone growing on this graft. Thanks
I do have osteopenia ( pre- osteoporosis), and I am 58 being ancient. This was a tooth with root canal then apico then infection now cleared up but with bone loss at the site. I took fosamax, take 1500 calcium already, magniesium and have added more D, besides multi, C, and a few others.

Special hard work shouldn’t be necessary. April 2007 I had a dental implant placed and by the end of the year I had my tooth. There was the possibility of needing a bone graft (turned out I didn’t) but, even so, I’m 57 and the last bone density study I had done I was “borderline osteoporotic.” I still managed to grow excellent bone without taking calcium or changing my diet. You don’t give your age but you might already be on rx for osteoporosis prevention.

JOAN,
EATING A HEALTHY WELL-BALANCED DIET WILL BE ENOUGH. SMOKING SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

You could add vitamin E as that’s the one that helps the body repair itself.

We recommend that you not smoke and that you avoid sugar for the first month after the implant is placed.
