What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds or regenerates bone tissue in areas where it has been lost or weakened. It creates a stable, healthy foundation for future dental work — especially dental implants, All-on-Fours, or implant-supported dentures.
Common reasons for bone grafting include:
- Tooth extraction sites with bone collapse
- Long-term tooth loss with jawbone resorption
- Periodontal (gum) disease affecting the bone
- Facial trauma or infection
- Preparing for implant placement in thin or soft bone areas
We use biocompatible grafting materials that integrate with your natural bone and promote new tissue growth.
Types of Bone Grafting We Offer
- Socket Preservation
Placed immediately after a tooth is extracted to prevent bone loss at the site. - Ridge Augmentation
Rebuilds the natural contour of the jaw where bone has diminished. Common after long-term tooth loss or ill-fitting dentures. - Sinus Lift (Maxillary Sinus Augmentation)
Adds bone to the upper jaw below the sinus to prepare for implants in the back teeth. - Minor Bone Grafting for Implant Sites
Performed before or during implant placement to support a successful outcome.
Our team will assess your bone structure with 3D imaging to determine the best type of graft for your needs.
The Bone Grafting Process
- Consultation & Imaging
We use digital X-rays and CBCT scans to evaluate the quantity and quality of your bone. - Procedure Planning
We’ll explain your options and schedule the grafting procedure, often done with local anesthesia and sedation if requested. - Bone Placement
The grafting material is placed in the affected area and covered with a membrane to protect the site during healing. - Healing Phase
Over 4–6 months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a stable base for future restorations.
If you’re preparing for implant-supported overdentures or single tooth implants, this step is critical to long-term success.
