Bone grafting creates the solid foundation needed for dental implants. Our specialist surgeons perform sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and guided bone regeneration with proven materials.
Immediately after extraction, graft material is placed to preserve bone volume for a future implant. Prevents the bone collapse that occurs within months of tooth removal.
Rebuilds the width and height of the jaw ridge when bone has already been lost, restoring it to adequate dimensions for implant placement.
Adds bone to the upper jaw below the sinus cavity — required when the sinus floor is too close to the jaw to safely place implants in the upper back teeth.
A section of bone harvested from another area of the jaw is transplanted to rebuild severely deficient sites.
A membrane is used to guide bone growth and prevent soft tissue from invading the defect as it heals.
Donor bone or bovine-derived materials provide a scaffold for your own bone to grow into — widely used and with excellent long-term results.
Most bone grafts take 3–6 months to fully integrate before implant placement. Socket preservation grafts may heal faster. Dr. Leung will monitor your healing with x-rays.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and controlled with prescribed pain medication for the first few days.
Not always. Many patients have sufficient bone for direct implant placement. However, if you've had tooth loss for more than a few months, or had gum disease, bone grafting is often necessary for long-term implant success.
