01.

Process

Initial Assessment: A thorough exam and digital X-rays are taken to evaluate bone levels and determine the best type of graft for your needs.

Grafting Procedure: The grafting material is carefully placed where bone is deficient, encouraging natural regeneration and growth. Sedation options are available for your comfort throughout the procedure.

Healing Period: Over the following months, the graft fuses with your natural bone, creating a strong, stable foundation for future implants or to support surrounding teeth.

Follow-up Visits: We’ll schedule follow-ups to monitor progress and determine when the area is ready for the next step in your treatment, such as implant placement.

FAQ

  • Why is bone grafting needed before dental implants?

    Bone grafting may be needed if the jawbone isn’t thick or strong enough to support an implant, ensuring long-term stability and success.

  • What materials are used for bone grafting?

    Bone grafts can use synthetic materials, donor tissue, or processed natural bone, all designed to safely encourage new bone growth.

  • How do I know if I need a bone graft?

    A dental exam with digital X-rays or 3D imaging will show if there’s enough healthy bone; if not, a bone graft may be recommended before implant placement.
