Dental implants are a very good way of replacing missing teeth, but sometimes the jawbone is too fragile or there simply isn’t enough bone to support the implants. In this case, we can use the very latest bone grafting techniques to ensure there is plenty of strong and healthy bone to surround your dental implants.

Why Might I Need a Bone Graft?

The bone surrounding your teeth is called alveolar bone and it can be lost through accident or disease, or is naturally reabsorbed by the body once teeth are removed. A lot of this bone loss occurs in the first year after natural teeth are removed, which is why, if possible, it’s better to consider having dental implants sooner rather than later.

What Is the Procedure for Having a Bone Graft?

We use tried and tested techniques for building up bone in preparation for dental implants and this procedure is quite straightforward. There are many different bone grafting materials, but often we will choose to use an artificial bone graft that helps promote the growth of your own bone. Sometimes it is possible to place the bone graft at the same time as your dental implant, but if you need a larger amount of bone then it may be a stand-alone procedure. If this is the case, the graft will need time to heal and integrate with your jawbone before we can carry out implant surgery.
