Bone Grafting
Periodontitis, tooth loss, or even accidents—several factors can weaken the bone in your jaw. Luckily, with expert bone grafting, we can restore your smile’s foundation.
Bone Grafting
Before you can enjoy the benefits of a long-lasting dental implant, your jawbone needs to provide a strong, stable foundation. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, especially if you’ve lost teeth due to injury, infection, or gum disease. That’s where bone grafting in Rochester Hills comes in.
Our gentle, expert bone graft procedures help rebuild your jawbone and prepare your smile for future restorations—all in a supportive, high-end setting where you can feel confident.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure that replaces or restores bone in areas of the jaw where it’s been lost or weakened. This procedure is most commonly done in preparation for dental implants but can also be used to prevent further bone loss after tooth extraction.
The bone graft can be performed using your own natural bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials, all of which are carefully selected to encourage healthy bone growth and integration.
When Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
- Have lost bone after a tooth extraction
- Have been missing teeth for a while, and your jawbone has started to shrink
- Are planning for dental implants, but don’t have enough bone to support them
- Have experienced trauma or gum disease that damaged the bone
How Do You Know If You Need Bone Grafting?
The best way to know if bone grafting is needed is through a professional consultation. During your visit, we’ll take high-resolution digital X-rays or a 3D cone beam scan to assess your bone volume, density, and overall oral health.
If the bone in the implant area isn’t thick enough or tall enough, we may recommend bone grafting to ensure long-term success and stability.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
Bone grafting can make all the difference in your dental implant journey. Without sufficient bone, implants may fail to integrate with your jawbone successfully and have a higher risk of developing an infection. With a successful graft, however, you’ll enjoy a stronger, more stable base for dental implants and improved facial contours and smile aesthetics.
