Common Procedures
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting can add support where bone volume has been lost after infection, trauma, or missing teeth and may help prepare a site for future implant placement.
Evaluation may include 3D imaging when appropriate. The grafting approach depends on the site, anatomy, health history, and long-term treatment goals.
Why Is Bone Grafting Needed?
- May help maintain the shape of an extraction site
- Can add bone volume for planned dental implant placement
- Supports treatment planning where bone has been lost
- Creates a foundation tailored to the final restoration
Procedure Overview
The anesthesia plan depends on the procedure and patient. Graft material may replace missing bone or provide a scaffold for new bone as the site heals.
Recovery & Healing
- Early swelling and discomfort vary by procedure and patient
- Bone healing continues after the surface tissue feels better
- The graft type, location, and overall health affect timing
- Follow the aftercare and follow-up schedule provided for your case
