Thanks to bone grafting, there’s nothing that can stop you from restoring your smile!
Many times, if a patient is missing one or more teeth and wants to restore their smile with dental implants, their dentist will inform them that they might require a bone graft in order to maximize the outcome of the implant. While it may sound scary at first, the truth is bone grafting is a routine, predictable, and painless procedure.
If your jaw bone is too thin or soft to keep a dental implant in place, the implant will fail. That’s where bone grafts come in. Bone grafting involves adding bone to your jaw by using your own natural bone from another part of your body or from a donor so that your jaw can support any needed implants.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift is surgery that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars.
Mandibular Symphysis Graft
This bone graft, also known as bone apposition, increases bone volume of the upper or lower jaw bone by using an existing bone fragment.
Socket Preservation
This procedure involves placing a bone graft into the socket, where a tooth once was.
