Strong bone is essential for stable, lasting dental implants. When bone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, bone grafting restores the foundation your smile needs to thrive. At Sunnyvale Implant Center, our implant specialists perform safe, effective grafting procedures to prepare patients for successful implant placement.
Why Bone Grafting Is Important
After a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink from lack of stimulation. Over time, this can change facial appearance and make it difficult to place implants. Bone grafting rebuilds the area, giving your future implant a firm anchor point.
Our Bone Grafting Options
We offer several techniques based on your needs:
- Socket Preservation: Placed immediately after extraction to protect bone volume.
- Ridge Augmentation: Rebuilds bone width and height where resorption occurred.
- Sinus Lift: Adds bone in the upper jaw for implants near molars or premolars.
Our San Jose team uses biocompatible materials that integrate naturally with your bone, promoting regeneration and long-term strength. Most patients heal within a few months before moving forward with implant placement. You will have a follow-up visit to confirm you are ready for implant placement.
Bone grafting not only prepares you for implants, but it also prevents further bone loss and restores the natural contour of your jawline.
