We provide comprehensive care for patients who may need additional support before receiving dental implants. Bone grafting is an essential procedure for patients who have experienced bone loss in the jaw and require a stable foundation for dental implants. This treatment ensures that you have the necessary bone structure to support a successful implant placement.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure in which bone material is added to areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. This may be necessary if teeth have been missing for a prolonged period or if bone density has decreased due to gum disease or trauma. The grafted bone material stimulates the growth of new bone, increasing the volume and strength of the jawbone.

Why Is Bone Grafting Necessary?

In some cases, patients may not have enough healthy bone to support dental implants. Dr. Clara Nguyen may recommend bone grafting for the following reasons:

  • Preparing for Dental Implants: A strong, dense jawbone is necessary to ensure the long-term success of dental implants. Bone grafting provides a stable foundation for the implant posts.
  • Preventing Bone Loss: After tooth loss, the jawbone can deteriorate over time. Bone grafting helps to maintain the integrity of the jawbone and prevent further bone loss.
  • Supporting Oral Health: A healthy jawbone supports overall oral health and prevents the shifting of remaining teeth.

The Bone Grafting Process

The bone grafting procedure typically involves the placement of bone material from another part of your body, a donor or synthetic materials. Our dentist will evaluate your specific needs to determine the best option for you. Once the graft is placed, the healing process begins, and over time, the new bone will integrate with your existing jawbone, creating a stable base for future dental implants.
