Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is often needed when a patient doesn’t have enough jawbone to support a dental implant. It’s a common part of the dental implant process, especially if it’s been a while since the tooth was lost or if there’s been bone loss due to periodontal disease or trauma.
How It Works
Bone grafting adds or restores bone to areas where it's too thin or soft to hold an implant. At Brown & Fortner Dental Group, we offer straightforward bone grafting procedures, but we do not perform sinus lifts. We focus on areas that can be safely and effectively grafted without needing to lift or manipulate the sinus cavity.
You might need bone grafting if:
- Your tooth has been missing for several months or years
- You’ve had gum disease that caused bone loss
- You’re planning an implant in a site where the bone is naturally thin
Why Bone Grafting?
The grafted bone acts as a scaffold, encouraging new bone growth and creating a stable foundation for your future implant. It may sound complex, but we’ll guide you through the process and make sure you're fully prepared for a successful outcome.
