Restore Your Jawbone Strength With Grafting

Secure Your Smile

If bone loss has made dental implants seem out of reach, a bone graft can change that. By reinforcing your jaw with new bone material, you’ll restore the strength and structure needed to support implants.

During the procedure, your dentist will carefully place the graft material where it’s needed.

We’ll numb your mouth using local anesthesia. Sedation is available to help you feel completely at ease.

As the bone graft heals, the material will integrate with your natural jawbone. Over time, this creates a stable and durable foundation for implants.

Once the healing process is complete, we’ll work with you to plan the next steps for placing your implants.

Enjoy a Better Bite

After the bone graft, we’ll give you personalized instructions to promote proper healing.

Your new bone structure will gradually strengthen. We’ll monitor your progress with follow-up appointments.

When your jaw is ready, you can move forward with implant-supported solutions. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, your dentist will help you restore your smile’s function and beauty.

Common Questions About Bone Grafts

Why would I need a bone graft before getting dental implants?

A bone graft is needed if your jawbone lacks the strength or density to support dental implants. Bone loss often occurs due to missing teeth, gum disease, or prolonged denture use. The graft helps rebuild and reinforce the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for successful implant placement. Without it, implants may not integrate properly, which could lead to complications or implant failure.

Is a bone graft procedure painful?

The procedure itself is not painful because your dentist will numb the area using local anesthesia. If you’re feeling anxious or want additional comfort, sedation is available to help you relax. You may experience mild soreness or swelling after the procedure, which is normal and manageable with prescribed or store-bought pain relief. Our team will provide aftercare instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote healing.

How long does it take to heal after a bone graft?

The initial healing typically takes a few days to a week, during which any swelling or soreness will subside. However, full integration of the graft with your natural bone may take several months, depending on the size and location of the graft. During this time, your jaw will rebuild strength and stability to support implants. Your dentist will monitor your progress through follow-up visits and ensure you’re ready for the next step.
