Rebuild Your Foundation for a Stronger Smile
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone often begins to deteriorate or “shrink” over time. A bone graft is a safe and highly effective procedure that replaces missing bone density, rebuilding the natural contours of your jaw.
At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we use bone grafting primarily to create a solid foundation for dental implants. Whether you need to preserve a socket immediately after an extraction or restore bone lost years ago, our advanced techniques ensure your jaw is strong enough to support your new smile.
Key Benefits & Uses
Implant Preparation
The most common reason for grafting. It ensures there is enough bone width and height to securely anchor a dental implant.
Socket Preservation
Performed immediately after a tooth extraction. We place bone material in the empty socket to prevent the jawbone from collapsing while it heals.
Sinus Lifts
A specialized graft for the upper jaw. It adds bone height near the sinuses, making it safe to place implants in the back of your mouth.
Prevent Facial Collapse
Losing jawbone can make your face look older or “sunken.” Grafting preserves your facial structure and youthful appearance.
Biocompatible Materials
We use safe, medical-grade bone grafting materials (synthetic or sterile donor bone) that encourage your body to regenerate its own tissue
Gentle Procedure
While it sounds complex, bone grafting is a routine, minor surgical procedure often done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
