At Dental Center of Wellington, we want every patient to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime, but we know that isn’t always possible. If you’ve lost one or more teeth, it can be embarrassing, not to mention how it can lead to jawbone deterioration.
A dental bone graft is a procedure that can restore your bone density, but what dental procedures involve bone grafting?
What Procedures Require Bone Grafting?
Several common dental procedures involve a bone graft, including the following:
- Socket preservation — After an extraction, a socket preservation fills the socket, preventing bone loss and preparing the area for dental implant placement.
- Sinus lift — If your upper jaw doesn’t have enough bone density to support dental implants, we can lift your sinus membrane and place bone graft material into the area.
- Ridge augmentation — This procedure recreates your jaw’s natural contour and is used to increase your jaw’s height and width.
