SUPPORT FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Why grafting may be discussed
The practice describes ridge augmentation to restore jaw contour after tooth loss. An evaluation determines whether additional bone or soft-tissue support is needed for your planned restoration.
The approach depends on your needs
Implant-related services described by the practice include site development, autogenous grafting, and sinus lift augmentation. The graft material, treatment sequence, and healing interval are explained for your case.
Planning with the final restoration in mind
Discuss the proposed graft and how it supports the dental implant or restorative plan. Your surgeon can explain the material, the expected healing sequence, and alternatives for your situation.
Your questions, answered.
Does everyone need a graft before implants?
No. The recommendation depends on the existing bone and the planned implant position.
Can grafting change the treatment timeline?
It can. Ask whether grafting is a separate stage and how healing affects the next step.
General patient education. Your treatment plan requires an individual evaluation.
