Bone Grafting Near You
Certain things such as missing teeth, trauma, and severe periodontal disease will result in some degree of bone loss. Bone grafting works to rebuild the foundation of the damaged tooth or teeth in question, in order to promote normal and healthy functionality once more.
Bone Grafting: A Solution for Missing Teeth
Dentures and dental implants that will be used to replace the missing teeth need supporting bone to promote proper and complete functionality. If you’ve experienced bone loss or a deteriorating jaw structure due to certain oral health problems, bone grafting can help to rebuild these issues, and solve them through creating the support needed for proper functionality.
Bone grafting is a minimally invasive, minor surgical procedure done right here in our clinic. A small incision is made in the affected area in order to perform the graft, and the grafting material is added to the impacted bone. Upon completion of the process, all that’s left is your short recovery – then, back to normal and perfect functionality.
Over the next few months after the completion of your graft, your body will naturally replace the graft with it’s own bone, reversing and erasing your previous issue, and giving you the chance to enjoy proper bone density and stability once more.

FAQ
Why would I need a bone graft?
A bone graft is needed when your jawbone is too weak or thin to support a dental implant. It helps rebuild bone and keeps your mouth healthy.
What materials are used for bone grafting?
Dentists use safe materials like your own bone, donor bone, or special biocompatible graft materials that help new bone grow and make your jaw stronger.
Is bone grafting painful?
During the procedure, you won’t feel pain because we numb the area. Afterward, mild soreness is normal, but medicine and proper care help you heal.
How long does it take to heal from a bone graft?
Most people heal in a few months. Your bone needs time to grow and become strong enough to support a dental implant or other dental treatment.

How do I care for my mouth after a bone graft?
