Bone Grafting

Some patients do not have sufficient bone density to support dental implants. In this situation, the dentist may recommend a bone graft in the jaw. For a bone graft, bone tissue is placed into the area that needs additional support. Grafted bone can come from the patient’s body or a tissue bank. Bone growth stimulant speeds the natural process of bone tissue integrating with the graft.

One type of bone graft for dental implants is a sinus lift, in which bone is added to the upper jaw, near molars. Increasing bone density improves potential for success with dental implants. Once a bone graft is placed, an oral surgeon or dentist monitors healing, then re-evaluates candidacy for dental implant surgery.
