Bone Grafting
Rebuilding the foundation — strong, healthy bone to support implants and protect your smile.
Rebuilding What Was Lost
When a tooth has been missing for a while, or was lost due to gum disease or trauma, the jawbone beneath it can begin to shrink and weaken. Bone grafting rebuilds that lost structure, creating a strong, stable foundation for a future dental implant or restoring support for the surrounding teeth and gums.
During the procedure, your dentist places a small amount of graft material into the area where bone has been lost. Over the following months, your body regenerates new, healthy bone around the graft, gradually rebuilding the density and volume needed to support long-term dental work.
Bone grafting is most often recommended alongside dental implants, but it can also help preserve the shape of your jaw and face after an extraction, preventing the sunken appearance that bone loss can cause over time.
