Bone Graft & Dental Implants
Bone grafting rebuilds lost bone volume in the jaw, while dental implants provide a permanent replacement for missing teeth. Together, these procedures restore oral function, preserve facial structure, and deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results.
The Procedure
Bone loss in the jaw can result from tooth extractions, gum disease, or trauma. A bone graft rebuilds the area using material sourced from the patient, a donor, or a synthetic substitute — stimulating new bone growth and preparing the site for implant placement. The integration process takes several months as the grafted bone gradually fuses with the surrounding structure, creating a stable foundation for the implant.
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fully fused with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom dental crown is attached on top, creating a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days of the procedure.
Together, bone grafts and implants restore chewing function, preserve the shape of the face, and improve both appearance and confidence. For patients who have lost one or more teeth, these procedures offer a reliable, long-term solution for a healthier and fully functional smile.
