Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a crucial surgical procedure often performed when there isn't enough healthy jawbone to support dental implants or other restorative treatments. Bone loss can occur due to various reasons, including prolonged tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or congenital defects. Without adequate bone volume and density, dental implants cannot be securely anchored, jeopardizing their long-term success.

During a bone grafting procedure, bone material (which can come from your own body, a donor, or synthetic sources) is added to the jaw where bone deficiency exists. This graft material acts as a scaffold, stimulating your body's natural healing processes to grow new bone cells. Over several months, the grafted material integrates with your existing bone, creating a stronger, more robust foundation. This not only prepares the site for successful implant placement but can also help preserve the integrity of your facial structure, preventing the "sunken" appearance often associated with significant bone loss. Our team will carefully assess your bone density and discuss whether bone grafting is necessary to achieve the best possible outcome for your comprehensive treatment plan.
