It helps rebuild the foundation needed for stable implant placement.
Grafting may be carried out before or at the time of implant placement, depending on the clinical situation.
Bone can be reduced after tooth loss, affecting implant support.
Bone grafting can extend your overall treatment timeline, as the area needs time to heal and integrate before moving on to the next stage, particularly with dental implants. This healing phase is important for creating a strong, stable foundation and can take a few months. While it may feel like an extra step, it significantly improves long-term success and reduces the risk of future complications. If you’re unsure, we can assess this during your visit and guide you through the most appropriate options.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the procedure is. It’s carried out under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you’ll be comfortable throughout, with only mild soreness afterwards. Any swelling or discomfort is usually short-lived and can be controlled with standard pain relief. Recovery is generally straightforward, and most patients return to normal routines quickly. If you’re unsure, we can assess this during your visit and guide you through the most appropriate options.
Not always, but it is often recommended when there isn’t enough healthy bone to support a restoration such as an implant. This can happen due to tooth loss, gum disease, or natural bone shrinkage over time. Your dentist will use detailed imaging to assess your bone levels and decide what’s better for your case. In some situations, alternatives may be possible, but grafting often provides the most predictable long-term result. If you’re unsure, we can assess this during your visit and guide you through the most appropriate options.
