Understanding Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is recommended when a patient lacks sufficient jawbone volume or density, often due to tooth loss, disease, or injury. This procedure involves transplanting bone tissue (either from the patient’s own body or a biocompatible material) to the jaw, promoting new bone growth and creating a sturdy base for the implant.

The Bone Grafting Process

Dr. Harris employs various bone grafting techniques, selecting the most appropriate method based on your unique situation. The process begins with a thorough evaluation, including advanced imaging to assess bone density and volume. During the procedure, the chosen graft material is placed in the target area, where it integrates with the existing bone over time.

Benefits of Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

• Increased Success Rate: By enhancing jawbone structure, bone grafting significantly improves the likelihood of implant success.
• Improved Aesthetics: A strong, well-contoured jawline achieved through bone grafting not only supports implants but also enhances facial aesthetics.
• Long-Term Stability: Grafted bone provides a durable anchor for implants, contributing to their longevity and functionality.
