Dental Bone Grafting in Airdrie
Rebuild Your Jawbone and Prepare for Dental Implants
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a restorative dental procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone when it has deteriorated due to tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or other factors. A strong jawbone is essential for supporting dental implants and maintaining your facial structure. At Sierra Springs Dental in Airdrie, our experienced team uses modern grafting materials and techniques to restore bone volume, creating a solid foundation for implants and other restorative treatments.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting plays a critical role in restoring your jawbone and enabling successful tooth replacement.
Signs You May Need Bone Grafting
Your dentist may recommend bone grafting if you:
- Are missing a tooth and the jawbone in that area has started to shrink
- Have had a tooth extraction some time ago and now want a dental implant
- Have advanced gum disease that has affected the bone supporting your teeth
- Have thin or narrow bone that would not support an implant on its own
An exam with 3D imaging confirms whether grafting is needed before implant planning begins.
The Bone Grafting Process
A proven step-by-step approach to rebuilding your jawbone.
- 1
Evaluation and Imaging
We perform a thorough examination with 3D imaging to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the right grafting approach for your needs.
- 2
Graft Placement
Under local anesthesia, the grafting material is placed into the area of bone deficiency. The site is carefully closed to allow healing.
- 3
Healing and Integration
Over the next several months, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, stimulating new bone growth and rebuilding the jawbone.
- 4
Follow-Up and Next Steps
Once the graft has healed and sufficient bone density is confirmed, you can proceed with dental implant placement or other planned treatments.
