Bone Grafting
Rebuild Bone Volume for Successful Implant Placement
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone volume lost due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or trauma, creating adequate foundation for dental implants.
When Bone Grafting Is Needed
Insufficient bone height or width
Long-term tooth loss
Periodontal disease
Trauma or injury
Failed previous implants
Sinus proximity
Types of Bone Grafts
Autograft
Your own bone from another site (gold standard)
Allograft
Processed donor bone
Xenograft
Bovine or porcine bone substitute
Synthetic
Biocompatible bone substitute materials
Healing Time
Bone grafts typically require 4-6 months to heal before implant placement. In some cases, grafting and implant placement can be done simultaneously.
