Important treatment for future work
So bone grafts are very important when getting a tooth removed, or if you've been missing a tooth for a long time, to graft your jawbone, to get enough support to have a dental implant or a bridge or a partial denture. You need some support for whatever appliance or dental implant you're putting in your jaw. So what happens is if you get a tooth removed, there's no more stimulation in the jawbone. It's like a muscle. You don't use it, it's going to shrink down over time.
So if you get your tooth pulled and you don't put a bone graft in the area where you had it removed, then that jawbone is going to shrink down, and your face might cave in a little bit in that area, or your teeth will shift into that area, or you might not be able to replace that tooth later. So bone grafting is very important to restore the facial structure of your look and to set up an area to replace that tooth with either a dental implant or any other kind of restoration.

Enjoy All the Benefits of Dental Implants With a Bone Graft
A bone grafting procedure is surprisingly simple when performed by an expert:
- Your dentist simply places material designed to spur growth at the tooth extraction site or other area where more bone is needed.
- Typically no more than a suture or two is used to keep the material in place.
- Your body’s own regenerative powers will then take over to create new bone.
- You’ll check in with us while your mouth heals so your dentist can determine when you’re ready for implant placement. You can usually receive implants within a few months.
Before your procedure, your dentist will review other options with you. If mini dental implants will support your replacement teeth, you may not need bone grafting.
