BONE GRAFTING
Rebuilding bone structure to support long-term oral health
Bone loss can occur following tooth loss, gum disease, trauma or long-term dental infection. In some cases, there may not be enough healthy bone available to support dental implants safely and predictably.
Bone grafting helps regenerate and restore bone volume in the affected area, creating a stronger foundation for future restorative treatment. The procedure involves placing grafting material into the jaw to encourage natural bone growth and healing over time.
This treatment is often an important step in preparing for successful implant placement and maintaining long-term oral health.

Healing time varies depending on the extent of treatment, but several months may be required before implant placement.
Can bone grow back naturally?
Bone grafting encourages natural bone regeneration in areas where bone loss has occurred.
