Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone when there is not enough bone to support a dental implant. This is often needed after tooth loss or gum disease, which can cause the bone to shrink over time.

A bone graft helps restore volume and density to the area, creating a strong foundation for future implant placement. In some cases, a sinus lift may also be performed in the upper jaw to create additional space and support.

These are routine surgical procedures performed with your comfort in mind. Medications may be prescribed to help with healing and reduce post-treatment discomfort.

If you are considering dental implants, we can evaluate your bone levels and determine whether bone grafting is needed to prepare the area.
