You were finally convinced of a smile makeover with dental implants.

When your implant dentist told you that your jawbone wasn’t healthy and you may need additional bone grafting procedures to get them. Bone grafting for dental implants is a common technique to increase the quantity and quality of your jawbone. In case you are nervous 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 goal of bone grafting is to rebuild and strengthen the jawbones, laying a solid foundation for dental implants.

When teeth are missing for a long time, the bone that once supported them can shrink or weaken. Bone grafting involves adding new material to the area to restore volume and density to the bone. This graft material can come from a variety of sources, including your own body, a donor, or synthetic options.

Once the bone graft integrates with your natural bone, it creates a sturdy base, creating sufficient 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 foundation ensures your dental implants remain stable and secure for years to come. With successful bone grafting, those who previously couldn’t get implants because of insufficient bone can now benefit from them.

Restores facial aesthetics

Bone grafting is essential for preventing bone loss and preserving the natural shape of your gums. It can restore and avoid the typical ‘sunken’ facial appearance that comes with multiple missing teeth.

Protects jawbone structure

Rebuilding the bone prevents further deterioration of the jaws and gums, preserving your facial structure and appearance.

Restores oral function

This procedure allows you to chew and speak comfortably again; this improves your chewing, ability to speak and smile confidently, and overall oral health and functionality.

Tailored to your needs

Bone grafting procedures are highly personalised and specialised. There are different types of bone grafts available and we can use the ones that fit the demands of your oral health the best.

Is bone grafting for dental implants necessary?

Dental implants need a strong and stable jawbone for support. Without enough bone, implants may not stay integrated into the bone for long and can 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. Sometimes it can reduce to a thin layer of 2-4 millimetres of bone that is insufficient for dental implant placement.
  • Gum disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to significant bone loss.
Taylored Dental Care
  • Trauma or injury: Accidents or injuries to the jaw can weaken the bone structure.
  • Natural jawbone anatomy: Some people naturally have thin or insufficient jawbones in certain areas of the mouth.

Addressing these issues with bone grafts builds a rock-solid foundation for dental implants for life.
