Bone grafting is used when the jawbone needs more volume or density to support implants or stabilize the bite.
Common reasons for grafting
- Bone loss after tooth extraction
- Preparing for implants
- Sinus lift needs in the upper jaw

Planning Your Next Step
Bone grafting planning depends on defect size, infection history, implant goals, healing capacity, imaging, and timing.
Who this is for
Patients who want a clearer surgical diagnosis, imaging review, sedation discussion, and plan before treatment begins.
What to expect
A consultation helps connect symptoms, medical history, imaging, urgency, cost or payment questions, and procedure timing.
When the case is complex
Bone loss, infection, impacted teeth, prior treatment, medical history, or full-arch implant goals can change the surgical plan.
