Bone Grafting

Rebuild Your Jawbone and Prepare for Dental Implants

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a restorative dental procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone when it has deteriorated due to tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or other factors. A strong jawbone is essential for supporting dental implants and maintaining your facial structure. At Sierra Springs Dental in Airdrie, our experienced team uses modern grafting materials and techniques to restore bone volume, creating a solid foundation for implants and other restorative treatments.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting plays a critical role in restoring your jawbone and enabling successful tooth replacement.

Enable Dental Implants

Bone grafting rebuilds the jawbone to provide the solid foundation required for successful dental implant placement, even after significant bone loss.

Prevent Further Bone Loss

After tooth loss, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Bone grafting halts this process and stimulates new bone growth to maintain facial structure.

Preserve Facial Structure

Jawbone deterioration can cause the face to appear sunken and aged. Bone grafting restores volume and maintains the natural contours of your face.

Safe and Predictable

Bone grafting is a well-established dental procedure with a high success rate. We use biocompatible materials that integrate naturally with your existing bone.

Improved Long-Term Outcomes

By building a strong bone foundation, bone grafting increases the long-term success rate of dental implants and other restorative treatments.

Multiple Grafting Options

We offer several types of bone grafts, including autografts, allografts, and synthetic materials, and will recommend the right option for your situation.

The Bone Grafting Process

A proven step-by-step approach to rebuilding your jawbone.

1

Evaluation and Imaging

We perform a thorough examination with 3D imaging to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the right grafting approach for your needs.

2

Graft Placement

Under local anesthesia, the grafting material is placed into the area of bone deficiency. The site is carefully closed to allow healing.

3

Healing and Integration

Over the next several months, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, stimulating new bone growth and rebuilding the jawbone.

4

Follow-Up and Next Steps

Once the graft has healed and sufficient bone density is confirmed, you can proceed with dental implant placement or other planned treatments.
