With our expertise and state-of-the-art techniques, we aim to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients, improving their oral health and overall quality of life.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure commonly performed before dental implant surgery. It involves transplanting bone tissue to the jawbone to enhance its structure and density. This procedure is necessary when a patient lacks the necessary bone mass required to support dental implants. By building a solid foundation through bone grafting, we can ensure the long-term success of the implant procedure.

The Benefits of Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

Bone grafting offers several key benefits for patients undergoing dental implant treatment:

  • Improved Jawbone Strength: Bone grafting strengthens the jawbone, providing a more stable base for dental implants.
  • Increased Implant Success Rate: With sufficient bone density, the implants have a higher chance of successfully integrating with the jawbone.
  • Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Bone grafting can improve facial contours and provide support for natural-looking, functional teeth replacements.
  • Preservation of Facial Structure: Replacing missing teeth with implants helps to maintain the natural shape and structure of the face.
  • Long-Term Oral Health Benefits: By restoring the functionality of missing teeth, bone grafting helps to prevent further oral health issues and jawbone deterioration.

Our Bone Grafting Procedure

At Dante Colosimo, DDS, we follow a comprehensive approach to bone grafting for dental implants. Our procedure involves the following steps:

  1. Evaluation: We conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and scans, to assess the condition of your jawbone and determine the extent of bone grafting required.
  2. Grafting Material Selection: Depending on your specific needs, we will choose the most suitable grafting material, which can include autografts (your own bone), allografts (donor bone), or synthetic grafts.
  3. Grafting Procedure: Our skilled oral surgeons perform the grafting procedure under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
  4. Recovery and Healing: After the procedure, it is essential to follow our post-operative guidelines to promote proper healing and prevent complications.
  5. Implant Placement: Once the graft has integrated with the jawbone and achieved sufficient stability, we can proceed with the dental implant placement.
  6. Implant Restoration: After a healing period, we will attach the customized dental crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, providing you with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
