Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore or augment bone tissue in the jaw, which may have been lost or damaged due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. This procedure is essential for patients who require dental implants but
lack sufficient bone mass to support them. Bone grafting involves transplanting bone tissue from another part of your body or using a synthetic material to stimulate new bone growth in the jaw.
Your Specific Treatment Planning
Before undergoing a bone grafting procedure, our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess the condition of your jawbone and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. This may include dental imaging such as X-rays or CT scans to evaluate bone density and structure. At times a bone graft may be necessary at the time of a tooth extraction and that will be discussed at your time of consultation.

The Bone Grafting Procedure
During the bone grafting procedure, our oral surgeons will carefully place the grafting material into the deficient areas of the jawbone. Over time, the graft material will integrate with your existing bone tissue, stimulating new bone growth and providing a stable foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
Bone grafts are not to be taken lightly and will give you the most optimal outcome for a dental implant in the future if treated with care. Dr. Drake will provide you with all the necessary tools and instructions to give you that solution!
