Bone grafting for dental implants is a routine technique to increase the quantity and quality of your jawbone.

You were finally convinced to have a smile makeover with dental implants when your implant dentist informed you that your jawbone was unhealthy and that you might need additional bone grafting procedures to get them.

If you are worried about the idea of a bone graft procedure for missing teeth, we’re here to support you in your smile journey.

What is bone grafting for dental implants?

The purpose of bone grafting is to rebuild and strengthen the jawbones, laying the groundwork for dental implants. When teeth are missing for an extended period of time, the bone that supports them may shrink or weaken.

Bone grafting is the process of adding new material to an area in order to restore bone volume and density. This graft material can come from several sources, including your own body, a donor, or synthetic alternatives.

When the bone graft integrates with your natural bone, it forms a solid foundation, providing enough bone for dental implants.

Bone grafting for dental implants - The benefits

Bone grafting isn’t just about preparing for implants—it’s about restoring confidence and improving your confidence to eat, speak and smile, impacting your overall oral health. Here are some key benefits:

Ensures successful dental implants

A strong and stable foundation for implants in the jaw bone with successful bone grafting ensures treatment success. Those who couldn’t get implants because of insufficient bone before can now benefit from them.

Restores facial aesthetics

Bone grafting halts the bone loss and restores the natural shape of your gums. It can eliminate the typical ‘sunken’ facial appearance that comes with multiple missing teeth.

Protects jawbone structure

Bone reconstruction prevents further deterioration of the jaws and gums, preserving facial structure and appearance.

Restores oral function

This procedure allows you to chew and speak comfortably again. This improves your chewing ability, confidence in speaking and smiling, and overall oral health and functionality.

Tailored to your needs

Bone grafting procedures are highly personalised and specialised. There are several types of bone grafts available, and we can use the ones that are best suited to your oral health needs.

Is bone grafting for dental implants necessary?

Dental implants need a strong foundation in the jawbone for support. Without a certain amount of bone, implants may not stay fused into the bone for long and fail in the long run. Here are some reasons why dental implant bone augmentation with grafting may be necessary:

  • Bone loss due to missing teeth: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to shrink over time. It can sometimes be reduced to a thin layer of bone 2-4 millimetres thick, which is insufficient for dental implant placement.

  • Gum disease: Chronic, advanced gum disease can lead to significant bone loss.
  • Trauma or injury to the jaw can weaken its bone structure.
  • Natural jawbone anatomy: Some people have thin or insufficient jawbones in specific parts of their mouth.

Addressing these issues with bone grafts creates a solid foundation for dental implants to last a lifetime.
