Bone grafting is a common procedure performed to build up or restore bone in the jaw, providing a strong foundation for dental implants. For implants to be successful, there needs to be sufficient bone volume. Factors such as tooth loss, gum disease, or natural bone deterioration can lead to bone resorption. During the procedure, bone material—either from the patient, a donor, or synthetic sources—is placed in areas where bone has been lost or weakened.
Over time, the graft material encourages new bone growth, fusing with the existing jawbone to create a sturdy base for implants. This process typically takes several months but is crucial for ensuring long-term stability. Bone grafting is often essential in the upper and lower jaw, particularly in cases where the bone has thinned due to long-term tooth loss. With a successful graft, patients can proceed knowing their new teeth will have the structural support needed to function effectively and look natural.
Bone grafting rebuilds lost jawbone volume, reversing the effects of bone resorption caused by tooth loss, gum disease, or natural deterioration.
By restoring sufficient bone volume, grafting makes dental implant placement possible for patients who would otherwise not be candidates.
Bone graft material can come from the patient, a donor, or synthetic sources, allowing your surgeon to choose the best option for your specific needs.
Bone grafting is a well-established procedure with a long track record of success in dental and medical applications worldwide.
Once fully integrated, the grafted bone provides a permanent and stable foundation that supports dental implants for many years.
The graft material stimulates your body's natural bone growth process, fusing with existing bone to create a seamless and strong structure.
