What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or replace missing bone in the jaw. This is often necessary when bone loss has occurred due to:
- Tooth loss
- Gum disease
- Trauma or injury
- Long-term denture use
Bone grafting helps create a stable foundation for future dental treatments and supports overall oral health.
What Is Ridge Augmentation?
Ridge augmentation is a specialized type of bone grafting used to restore the natural shape and volume of the jawbone after tooth loss.
This procedure helps:
- Rebuild the jaw’s natural contour
- Improve support for dental implants
- Enhance both function and aesthetics
- Prevent further bone deterioration
Ridge augmentation is often recommended when the jawbone has significantly thinned or collapsed.
Why Bone Grafting Is Important for Dental Implants
Dental implants require sufficient bone to be securely placed and integrated.
Bone grafting can:
- Increase bone volume and density
- Improve implant stability and success rates
- Allow for proper implant positioning
- Support long-term durability
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for implants, bone grafting may make treatment possible. Learn more about Dental Implants and your options.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Bone grafting and ridge augmentation are performed with a focus on comfort and precision:
