Bone Grafting
Major & Minor Bone Grafting
When teeth are missing for an extended period, the jawbone can begin to shrink or deteriorate. This bone loss can affect the stability of surrounding teeth, alter facial structure, and create challenges for placing dental implants.
Fortunately, modern bone grafting techniques allow us to rebuild lost bone, creating a strong foundation for dental implants and restoring both function and aesthetics. Whether you need minor grafting to enhance implant success or more extensive reconstruction, our team is here to help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.
Major Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a highly effective procedure for rebuilding areas of the jaw with insufficient bone due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. This process strengthens the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for dental implants.
In most cases, the grafting material is sourced from a tissue bank. For patients needing implants in the upper back jaw, sinus bone grafts may be necessary to restore lost bone. Additionally, we may use specialized dissolvable membranes to protect the graft and promote natural bone regeneration—a technique known as guided bone or guided tissue regeneration.
