Bone Grafting - Hyannis, MA
Rebuild a Solid Foundation for Implants with Bone Grafting Techniques
Bone Grafting Improves Candidacy for Dental Implants
Bone loss in the jaw is a common concern among patients, and often caused by gum disease, injury or chronic tooth loss. It affects function and appearance, and can lead to other oral complications, such as shifting of the teeth and collapse of the bite. Bone loss also can impact your candidacy for replacing missing teeth with dental implants. If you have suffered bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be the ideal solution to create the right environment for implant success. Bone grafting replenishes and regrows bone in the jaw to create adequate bone quality and quantity, often for the purpose of enabling tooth replacement with dental implants.
To perform bone grafting, we source bone tissue from your own body or use other safe, fully vetted tissues. Our doctors incorporate Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and biocompatible mesh into bone grafting sites, which encourages a faster, more predictable healing response in treatment areas. A personalized consultation with our doctors can determine if bone grafting is the right treatment for your needs. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and member of the Academy of Osseointegration, our periodontist has in-depth understanding of bone health. He and our multi-specialty team are vastly experienced in preparing the jawbone for dental implant success through bone grafting procedures.

Bone Grafting with Ridge Augmentation Techniques
The ridge, or bony arch that supports the teeth, is where most bone grafting procedures are performed. A ridge augmentation rebuilds this structure, eliminating indentations left in the jaw and gums from bone loss and restoring function to the bite. To perform this bone grafting technique, our doctors thoroughly anesthetize treatment sites and place bone tissue samples in areas of loss. New bone growth occurs and integrates with existing bone overtime, returning natural form and function and creating a solid foundation for implants. We also offer ridge preservation, a bone grafting procedure that adds bone directly to recent extraction sites, preserving the ridge for future implant placement.
