Bone grafting is a specialized dental procedure that helps rebuild bone in areas where it has been lost or weakened. It is often an important step before placing dental implants or restoring areas affected by periodontal disease. We provide skilled and compassionate bone grafting procedures to help you regain the strength and structure needed for long-term oral health.
Why Bone Grafting May Be Needed
When teeth are lost or untreated gum disease progresses, the underlying jawbone can begin to deteriorate. Without sufficient bone, it becomes difficult to support dental implants or maintain the natural contours of your face. Bone grafting restores volume and density to the jaw, creating a stable foundation for future dental restorations.
Common reasons for bone grafting include:
- Preparation for dental implant placement
- Bone loss due to gum disease or infection
- Support for full or partial dentures
- Trauma or injury to the jawbone
- Preservation of bone after a tooth extraction
Our dentist will evaluate your specific needs and determine the appropriate type of grafting to ensure the best outcome.
