Bone Grafts
Bone loss in the jaw is very common, especially after a tooth is missing. Over time, the jaw can shrink or weaken, making it harder to place dental implants or support nearby teeth.
Our team specializes in bone grafting to rebuild these areas and protect your long-term oral health.
What Is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a procedure that strengthens or rebuilds areas of the jaw where bone has been lost. It creates a sturdy foundation for treatments like implant dentures and helps protect the natural shape of your face.
To complete a bone graft, we use safe, biocompatible materials designed to support new bone growth. They may include your own bone, donated bone, or synthetic materials that encourage natural rebuilding.
Your dentist will discuss which option fits your needs and comfort level.
When Is a Bone Graft Necessary?
A bone graft is recommended when the jawbone has weakened or shrunk, which often happens after tooth loss, gum disease, infection, or injury.
If the bone isn’t strong enough, dental implants may not be secure. A graft helps rebuild the area so future treatments stay stable and long-lasting.
Even if you’re not planning an implant, a graft can help maintain healthy bone levels and support your oral health.
