Implant site development

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

After a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area often shrinks. Bone grafting preserves or rebuilds the ridge so an implant can be placed in a stable, well-supported position.

Common procedures

  • Socket preservation at the time of extraction
  • Ridge augmentation to restore width or height
  • Guided bone regeneration using membranes

Healing

Grafted sites need time to mature before implant placement. Your periodontist will explain the expected healing period for your graft.
