Missing teeth can do more than just affect your smile – they can actually cause your jawbone to weaken over time. Whether you’ve been living with gaps in your smile or relying on traditional dentures, you may have experienced this natural bone loss. But here’s the good news: bone grafting can open new doors for your tooth replacement needs.
During your grafting, your dentist places bone material in areas that need rebuilding. Your body responds by creating healthy bone tissue, which is what is needed to support dental implants.

If you have a weak or thin jawbone and are unable to get dental implants, a bone graft can make implants a reality. Your dentist will carefully insert synthetic bone material in your gum. Over the next few months, this material will stimulate the growth of new bone cells in your jaw. Soon, your jaw will be strong enough to support implants and replacement teeth.
One of the most common reasons for bone grafts is to strengthen a jaw so that it can successfully support implants. The more time that has passed since you’ve lost teeth, the more likely you may need a graft to receive implants. Without tooth roots to provide stimulation, the bone in your jaw begins to shrink – as much as 25 percent in the first year after tooth loss.
A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate, so you won’t lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.
