What is a Bone Graft?

Bone grafting is a procedure that allows a skilled doctor to replace bone that has been lost from within the jaw or in the sinus cavity. Jaw bone loss is often a result of advanced gum disease, trauma or missing teeth that have not been replaced. The bone tissue surrounding your teeth is what keeps them in place, and allows them to function properly. When significant bone loss occurs, teeth become unstable and are at high risk of being lost. Dental implants, like natural teeth, need a sufficient amount of bone to be placed successfully. If you have suffered bone loss around existing teeth or need to replace missing teeth with dental implants, a bone graft may be part of your treatment.

The Bone Grafting Process

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures We Offer

A bone graft works by replenishing depleted bone volume with the use of bone tissue in the form of granules. These granules are derived from your own body, a bone bank or from a non-human source (typically bovine). As a highly skilled periodontist, Dr. Ryan Price routinely performs several types of bone graft procedures.

  • Bone Regeneration to Save Teeth

    Bone Grafting
    The process of encouraging bone regrowth around teeth to increase support and longevity. Bone regeneration helps save teeth and improve oral function.

  • Ridge Augmentation

    Bone Grafting
    Rebuilds the jaw arch by adding bone tissue to areas in need and restoring facial contours. This procedure strengthens and increases bone to enable tooth replacement with dental implants.

  • Ridge Preservation

    Bone Grafting
    Performed at the time of tooth extraction by adding bone to spaces left by tooth roots. Ridge preservation prepares missing teeth sites for future dental implant placement.

  • Sinus Lift

    Bone Grafting
    Enables replacement of upper premolar and molar teeth with dental implants. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus floor to allow for bone grafting by adding bone tissue in or around the maxillary sinus, increasing bone height and volume.
