Implants & Bone Grafting

What is a Bone Grafting Procedure?

This common dental implant surgery helps strengthen dental bone that is weak or too narrow/short in a specific area of your mouth. Since tooth loss and gum disease cause your jaw bone to resorb (shrink) it’s necessary to build the area back up before implants can be installed, or to prevent loose adjacent teeth.

Aurora Dental Care may recommend bone grafting prior to completing a dental implant

Not everyone requires bone grafting before they can get dental implants. A bone grafting procedure is usually only advised by your implant specialist if the bone is weak or too thin to install dental implants. Once we better understand your unique situation, we can advise as to the best path forward.
