A dental bone graft is a relatively minor procedure for restoring areas of lost or compromised bone in the jaw. The goal of dental bone grafting is to establish a stable, healthy oral foundation for the eventual placement of a dental implant. Our doctors at Ridgetop Dental Group Implants can perform bone grafting in the comfort of our office.
Although a relatively simple and straightforward process, we offer dental sedation to keep you relaxed and comfortable during your appointment. The first step is to create an opening in the gums to access the area where the grafting will be done. If your own tissue is to be used, we will remove the necessary amount of bone from the upper palate or jaw. The bone tissue is then placed directly on the area where there is deteriorated bone and the soft tissue is closed over it with small sutures.
