Bone Graft for Dental Implants: What to Expect

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

" It is essential to restore lost bone in the jawbone through bone graft treatment after tooth loss."

When Bone Grafting Is Necessary

Signs That Indicate a Bone Graft Is Necessary

" If the bone is soft, then a minor bone graft might be required to strengthen the bone and provide additional support for the implant."

How Bone Grafting Works

" It typically involves taking either natural bone or a synthetic bone material and placing it into the jawbone above the missing tooth through a minor surgical procedure."

What to Expect After the Procedure

" To recover as quickly as possible, stick to soft foods and avoid dark beverages or sugary drinks."

Alternative Options

" Since the implant is not attached to the jaw, a bone graft is not necessary even for patients with low bone density."
