Restore Your Jaw’s Structure

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone to areas of the jaw that have been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. It is often necessary to create a strong foundation for dental implants or improve the jawbone's aesthetics and function.

Solid Support

What is the Bone Grafting Procedure Like?

Bone grafting can usually be performed under local anesthesia. The dentist will make an incision to access the jawbone and then carefully place the bone graft material in the area where the bone has been lost. The graft material may be taken from your own body, a donor, or a synthetic source. The incision is then closed with sutures.

The Foundation Your Smile Deserves

The healing process can take several months, and you'll have follow-up appointments with our dentists to monitor your progress.
