What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical technique that uses natural or synthetic material to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone. The graft material promotes your body’s natural ability to regenerate bone, ensuring the structure is strong enough to support dental implants or preserve your facial profile.
We commonly recommend bone grafting for:
- Patients with bone loss after tooth extraction
- Implant candidates who lack sufficient bone density
- Individuals with gum disease-related bone deterioration
- Support in sinus lift or ridge augmentation procedures
Types of Bone Grafting Procedures We Offer
At South Palm Dental, we tailor each grafting plan to match your anatomy, goals, and future restorative needs:
- Socket Preservation: Prevents bone loss immediately after tooth extraction.
- Ridge Preservation: Maintains the contour and width of your jaw ridge.
- Sinus Lift Grafting: Lifts the sinus membrane to create room for implants in the upper jaw.
- Block Grafts & Particulate Grafts: Rebuilds large or localized areas of severe bone loss.
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR): Uses membrane barriers to direct new bone growth.
We use the latest biocompatible materials, including allografts, xenografts, and autografts when appropriate.
