A bone graft can be placed at the same time as implant placement.
Larger bone augmentations can delay the implant placement process for up to 5 months.
Bone grafts facilitate the option of being eligible for dental implants for those without sufficient jawbone volume to support them. We are one of the few practices in our area to offer bone grafts in-house, giving you the convenience of having all aspects of your implant treatment performed under one roof.
A bone graft is either a surgical procedure that uses transplanted bone to reintroduce jawbone matter or, more commonly, we may also use an external bone graft material to provide a scaffold to encourage new bone to form.
Optimal jawbone volume is needed to support dental implants, which will ultimately fail without this essential foundation.
Jawbone can be minimal due to:
Benefits of bone grafts
Enhanced support: A bone graft provides a robust foundation for successful implant surgery and post-surgery healing.
Improved supporting structures for your teeth: With healthy jawbone volume, your gums and teeth are better protected against the development of gum disease.
We take the welfare of our patients extremely seriously, and we will always make clinical decisions that put your long-term medical well-being first.

Patients who have lost jawbone volume due to periodontal disease (advanced disease) or an infection around a tooth can also benefit from a bone graft.
Building up healthy bones can improve the facial structures of individuals with jawbone loss. This reverses jawbone atrophy and improves facial volume.
