Request an AppointmentA bone graft is a specialized oral surgery procedure designed to restore jawbone density and thickness when it’s insufficient. During this procedure, we transplant bone from another area of your jaw or body into the affected site. While using your own bone typically provides the best results, we can also use synthetic bone materials or donor bone from a tissue bank when necessary. Over time, your natural jawbone fuses with the grafted material, creating a stronger, more stable foundation.
Bone grafting is often needed if your jawbone lacks the density required to support a dental implant or other treatments. After a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding bone can begin to resorb, or shrink, which may prevent successful implant placement. Although bone grafts are most commonly associated with implant dentistry, they can also be an important part of periodontal therapy when bone has been lost due to gum disease.
If you’re considering dental implants or want to explore whether bone grafting could benefit your smile, we encourage you to call or visit us today. Our experienced dentists and caring team are ready to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile!
