What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to your jaw where it's been lost. When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally shrinks over time because it's no longer being stimulated by tooth roots. Bone grafting reverses this loss, rebuilding volume and density so your jaw can support dental implants. The graft material can come from your own body, a donor, or synthetic sources Dr. Krinick will recommend the best option for your situation.

The Bone Grafting Process
Evaluation & 3D Imaging
Dr. Krinick examines your mouth and takes detailed 3D scans to assess exactly how much bone loss has occurred and where grafting is needed.
Graft Placement
Under local anesthesia (with sedation available), the graft material is placed where your bone has deteriorated. The area is then closed to heal.
Healing & Integration
Over 3-6 months, your body integrates the graft material, creating new, solid bone. Regular check-ups monitor your progress.
Implant Placement
Once your bone has fully healed and integrated, you're ready for dental implant placement on your new, strong foundation.
