Dental implants require a robust jaw structure, which may mean you need a surgical procedure prior to getting implants. Bone grafting becomes crucial if significant bone loss has occurred, potentially compromising implant stability.
Your dentist will carefully evaluate your jaw’s condition, potentially recommending additional interventions like a sinus lift to create optimal implant placement conditions.
This preliminary assessment ensures your mouth can successfully support new dental structures. It effectively sets the stage for a transformative dental restoration process.
During your initial consultation, advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-rays and 3-D scans are used to map your oral landscape. Your dentist will strategically place bone grafting material in weakened jaw areas, to start a natural regeneration process.
The grafted material gradually integrates with your existing bone. This creates a strong, stable foundation for future implants or other kinds of replacement teeth like dentures.
During periodic progress checks, your dentist will monitor healing, ensuring your jaw develops the necessary strength and density to support your new teeth.

A bone graft builds up bone in your jaw after you have lost teeth. Bone loss is a consequence of losing teeth because the tooth is no longer there to stimulate the bone beneath it. We’ll put a special material in the socket and cover it to safeguard the area. Over time, it will literally become a component of your bone as it stimulates new development. Because your bone is stronger, you can become a better prospect for dental implants.
Bone grafts are often necessary for patients in the aftermath of tooth loss. This is because losing a tooth also means losing jawbone mass. So you may need a bone graft to build up your jawbone, so it can provide adequate support for dental implants and replacement teeth.
When done by a highly skilled dental professional such as your dentist at our office, bone grafts are safe. Dental practitioners need training in this treatment and have to do the proper examination before recommending it. Still, it is not a complex procedure and is performed routinely at our practice. We can discuss any possible negative effects with you during the preparation stages.
