What is the treatment of bone respiration?

Treatment of protruding bones  is a technique performed to reduce the jaw bone at the position containing the tooth socket and tooth root to correct gummy smile or protruding teeth. Accordingly, the doctor peels off the gum at the tooth root to expose the bone layer, then grinds the bone to adjust and then sutures it.

When is it necessary to treat protruding bones?

Osteoporosis treatment will be applied in the following cases:

Treatment of buck teeth

Overdeveloped and protruding jawbones are one of the causes of buck teeth. For buck teeth caused by bones, braces will not be very effective.

At this time, the doctor will prescribe grinding the alveolar bone to directly intervene in the bone structure. From there, adjust the thickness of the jawbone, helping the jaw to be balanced and no longer have unsightly protruding defects.

Cure gummy smile

The cause of a gummy smile is due to the alveolar bone being too thick, leading to the gums growing excessively and covering part of the tooth. This makes it difficult to clean the teeth and if not treated early can cause infection. In this case, the doctor will prescribe the method of grinding the alveolar bone combined with gum surgery.

Treatment of protruding bones helps to reduce the protruding bone socket, creating space for the cut gums to adhere to. From there, completely overcome the condition of gummy smile. Bring you a confident, radiant smile.

Treatment process 

The standard treatment process for osteophytes will include the following basic steps:

Step 1: General dental examination

Before performing bone grinding, the doctor will assess the current oral health status through a general examination.

The patient will be X-rayed to determine some information such as: the location of the tooth socket, the location of the nerve, the location of the blood vessels as well as the ratio of bone that needs to be ground, etc. Thereby, the doctor will develop a treatment plan appropriate to the patient’s condition.

Step 2: Prepare before treating protruding bones

The patient’s mouth will be cleaned to remove any infectious agents. Next, the doctor will administer local anesthesia to the area of ​​the tooth that needs to be ground to reduce the patient’s pain during the procedure.

Step 3: Perform bone resorption treatment

According to the established treatment plan, the doctor will proceed to peel the gums. Then, the doctor will adjust the patient’s alveolar bone thickness.

Step 4: Suture the gums

The dentist will use salt water to clean the area of ​​the tooth that has just been ground down. Then proceed to stitch the gum back up. The process of grinding the alveolar bone is now complete.

Step 5: Follow up and advise

After adjusting the jawbone, the patient will be monitored for a certain period of time to ensure that there are no complications. The doctor will advise on some things to keep in mind, such as diet, lifestyle, follow-up appointments, etc.

Is bone spur treatment harmful?

Is the treatment of protruding bones dangerous? This is a question of many patients. In fact, this is considered a minor surgical procedure that is not too complicated or affects oral health too much, so patients do not need to worry too much.

Most of the harmful effects that occur after performing bone grinding are due to the doctor’s level of skill. In many cases, doctors with poor skills and little experience have caused some errors during the minor surgery, affecting the surrounding blood vessels or nerves. More dangerous cases can cause facial deformation and anaphylactic shock.

Therefore, when performing alveolar bone grinding, you should note the following:

  • Choose a reputable dental clinic with a team of highly qualified doctors with many years of experience. The clinic has modern equipment and machinery, supporting the examination and treatment process.
  • After grinding the alveolar bone, you should monitor your health condition. You must immediately notify the doctor if there are any unusual symptoms. For example: fever, bleeding from the surgical wound, jaw pain, etc. so that they can be handled promptly.

Cost of treatment for buck teeth?

The cost of treating buck teeth is not too expensive today. However, there will be a small difference between different dental clinics. In general, depending on the doctor’s skills, the dental service facility, the number of tooth sockets that need to be ground, etc., it ranges from 2 – 3 million VND/tooth .

On the other hand, this is the price for only grinding the alveolar bone. If you have other dental problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis, periodontitis, the doctor will treat you completely before grinding the alveolar bone. At this time, the cost you have to bear will be much higher.
