When the jawbone has shrunk after tooth loss, a bone graft rebuilds it โ creating enough healthy bone to hold a dental implant securely. It's a routine, well-established procedure performed by our oral surgeon.
After a tooth is lost, the bone that once surrounded its root gradually shrinks. If too much has been lost, there may not be enough to anchor an implant. A bone graft adds material to the area, which your body integrates to form new, solid bone over a few months.
Bone grafting makes implants possible for many people who were previously told they lacked the bone for them. At Rahouly Dental Clinic, Dr. Samer Rahouly assesses bone levels with in-clinic imaging and grafts where needed as part of implant planning.
