Reclaim Your Healthy Bite With a Bone Grafting Procedure

If you are interested in pursuing dental implants, Dr. Anderson may suggest a bone graft to strengthen your weakened jaw. You may have lost bone in the area because of years of having missing teeth or from wearing only dentures.

During the grafting procedure, Dr. Anderson carefully adds bone material to areas of your jaw that have diminished. This process stimulates new bone growth, creating a solid base for implants or other tooth replacements. Once your jaw has had time to heal, your dentist can proceed with your new smile restorations. For the most lifelike feel and function, we recommend attaching replacement teeth to dental implants. Your options include:

  • Implant Bridges – These custom-made bridges are secured to dental implants, replacing multiple missing teeth. After your bone graft heals, implant bridges offer a stable, natural-looking solution that restores your smile and chewing ability.
  • Implant Dentures – Supported by dental implants, these dentures provide a secure fit and enhanced dental function. Following your bone graft, implant dentures allow you to eat more of the foods you love compared to traditional dentures. You won’t need adhesive or relining procedures to keep them stable.
  • Full-Mouth Reconstruction – If a bone graft is part of your reconstruction, Dr. Anderson will proceed with the rest of your treatment plan. It combines various procedures to restore all your teeth. You’ll gain a completely renewed and beautiful smile.

Ask about our sedation options if you feel anxious. Dr. Anderson is certified to administer IV sedation to put you into a deeply relaxed state. Oral sedation and laughing gas are also available. You can wear headphones and blackout glasses during your treatment too.
