Make Implants a Reality With a Bone Graft
A bone grafting procedure rebuilds the jaw ridge and the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth. When a tooth is extracted or lost, the surrounding bone often deteriorates over time, creating a sunken area in your jaw. This bone loss can make placing dental implants difficult or impossible without first rebuilding the foundation.
With our team's implant expertise, we offer several surgical procedures that help prepare your jaw to receive them. In addition to bone grafting, your dentist can perform a sinus lift or ridge augmentation.The bone grafting process typically involves several steps. Here's what to expect:
- We perform an initial consultation with 3-D imaging to evaluate bone structure.
- Your dentist places biocompatible grafting material in the area and secures it with a protective membrane. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available.
- Over a few months, your body transforms this material into natural bone, creating a solid foundation for implants.
- You'll see us for regular checkups to monitor your progress.
This investment in your oral health creates a stable foundation for beautiful, functional replacement teeth.

What is a bone graft?
A bone graft strengthens your jawbone after you have lost teeth. Bone loss is a consequence of tooth loss since the tooth is no longer there to stimulate the bone underneath it. We’ll insert bone material in the socket and cover it to protect the area. Over time, the material will become part of your bone as it stimulates new growth. Because your bone is stronger, you can become a candidate for dental implants.
Are bone grafts painful?
A bone graft is a form of oral surgery. As with any oral surgery, there will be some discomfort following the procedure. Many of our patients opt for sedation during their bone graft so they can relax and maybe even sleep while we work. We will use local anesthesia so your jaw will be completely numb and you won’t feel a thing during surgery. We will also make sure you have the medication you need to stay pain-free at home.
Are bone grafts safe?
Our bone grafts are a safe procedure, designed to make it possible for our patients with a weak jawbone to receive dental implants and ultimately new replacement teeth. Our team has performed many bone grafts, so you can feel confident in our ability to help you.
