When teeth go missing, the jawbone underneath them can deteriorate over time. Bone grafting rebuilds and strengthens that bone, creating the volume and density needed for an implant to succeed long-term. It's a standard part of implant planning for patients who need it, not an extra ordeal layered on top.
Book a Consultation
If imaging shows insufficient bone for an implant, grafting is simply the first step of your plan, not a separate problem to solve.
You may be a good candidate if any of the following sound familiar. A consultation will confirm what's right for your specific case.
Before recommending bone growth (bone grafting), we start with a full evaluation of your teeth and goals, so the plan fits your case rather than a standard script.
Your plan accounts for your timeline, comfort, and priorities, and is walked through with you before any treatment begins.
We take the time to explain each step and answer questions as they come up, rather than rushing through the appointment.
Aftercare and follow-up are part of the plan from the start, not an afterthought once treatment is finished.
Discomfort is generally mild and manageable with standard aftercare instructions and, if needed, over-the-counter pain relief.
Healing time varies by case, generally a few months, to allow the grafted bone to properly integrate before an implant is placed.
Coverage varies by plan. Our team can help you understand what your specific insurance covers as part of your treatment plan.
Not necessarily — it depends on how much bone has actually been lost, which is confirmed through imaging rather than assumed from how long the tooth has been missing.
Depending on your case, graft material can come from your own bone, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute — your evaluation will determine what's appropriate.
