Bone grafting is a common and important procedure used to restore or enhance jawbone volume in preparation for dental implant placement. When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding bone may begin to shrink over time. Without sufficient bone, placing a secure and long-lasting implant becomes difficult. Bone grafting helps rebuild the jawbone, providing a strong and stable foundation for future implants.

We use biocompatible grafting materials—often a combination of synthetic, donor, or your own bone—carefully placed where needed. Over time, your body integrates the graft, forming new bone that supports long-term implant success. Bone grafting can be performed before implant placement or at the same time, depending on your individual case.

Socket Preservation

Socket preservation is a specific type of bone grafting performed immediately after a tooth is extracted. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone can quickly begin to deteriorate. Placing a bone graft directly into the empty socket helps maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone, reducing the need for more extensive grafting procedures later.

Socket preservation is especially valuable if you're planning to replace the missing tooth with a dental implant in the future. It helps ensure the site remains healthy, strong, and ready for implant placement when the time comes.

At our practice, we use advanced techniques and materials to deliver precise, predictable outcomes in bone regeneration. Your comfort and long-term oral health are our top priorities.
