When they\u2019re introducing a new movie, actors often take a moment to pay tribute to the people who helped make it happen \u2014 like, you know, their dentists. At least that\u2019s what Charlize Theron did at the premiere of her new spy thriller, Atomic Blonde<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I just want to take a quick moment to thank my dentists,” she told a Los Angeles audience as they waited for the film to roll. “I don\u2019t even know if they\u2019re here, but I just want to say thank you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did the starring actress\/producer give a shout-out to her dental team? It seems she trained and fought so hard in the action sequences that she actually cracked two teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had severe tooth pain, which I never had in my entire life,\u201d Theron told an interviewer from Variety<\/em>. At first, she thought it was a cavity \u2014 but later, she found out it was more serious: One tooth needed a root canal, and the other had to be extracted and replaced with a dental implant \u2014 but first, a bone grafting procedure was needed. \u201cI had to put a donor bone in [the jaw] to heal,\u201d she noted, \u201cand then I had another surgery to put a metal screw in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it might sound like the kind of treatment only an action hero would need, bone grafting is now a routine part of many dental implant procedures. The reason is that without a sufficient volume of good-quality bone, implant placement is difficult or impossible. That\u2019s because the screw-like implant must be firmly joined with the jawbone, so it can support the replacement tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, dentists have a way to help your body build new bone: A relatively small amount of bone material can be placed in the missing tooth\u2019s socket in a procedure called bone grafting. This may come from your own body or, more likely, it may be processed bone material from a laboratory. The donor material can be from a human, animal or synthetic source, but because of stringent processing techniques, the material is safe for human use. Once it is put in place your body takes over, using the grafted material as a scaffold on which to build new bone cells. If jawbone volume is insufficient for implants, it can often be restored to a viable point in a few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better yet, when grafting material is placed in the tooth socket immediately after extraction, it can keep most of the bone loss from occurring in the first place, enabling an implant to be placed as soon as possible \u2014 even before the end of a movie\u2019s shooting schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Atomic Blonde<\/em> prove to be an action-movie classic? Only time will tell. But one thing\u2019s for sure: When Charlize Theron walks down the red carpet, she won\u2019t have to worry about a gap in her smile.If you have questions about bone grafting or dental implants, please contact our office<\/a> or schedule a consultation<\/a>.
