Bone Grafting

What is Bone Grafting?

Severe gum disease can cause loss of bone around the teeth and a general weakening of the bone structure in the jaw, eventually leading to tooth loss and decreased oral function. Bone grafting treatments help restore the jawline, provide support for dental implants, and can prevent further tooth loss.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

• Rebuilds bone structure
• Creates a stable foundation for dental implants
• Can prevent further bone loss
• Safe and effective for most patients
• Preserves facial structure
• Improves candidacy for dental implants

What to Expect During a Bone Grafting Procedure

Dental bone grafts are typically performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation so you can completely relax during the procedure.

Depending on the location of the graft, how much bone needs to be grafted, and if other necessary procedures are required before the bone graft, bone grafting typically takes between 20 - 90 minutes. Call our office for additional information or questions.
