Precise, Effective Bone Grafting Procedures
The best replacement for missing teeth is dental implants, but some patients are not candidates because their tooth loss has caused too much jaw bone recession. Without teeth, the jaw bone will resorb and become too thin and weak to support dental implants. If this is the case, we will recommend bone grafting to rebuild the volume and strength of your jaw bone. Depending on the location of your bone loss, your bone grafting procedure may be a sinus lift or ridge augmentation. Our dentist, Dr. Bang Phan, is certified in IV sedation and performs precise and effective bone grafting procedures in the convenience of our office.

Because dental implants are made to replace all parts of natural teeth, including the tooth root, they need substantial support from the jaw bone. The primary reason patients undergo a bone grafting procedure, therefore, is to prepare their jaw for the secure placement of dental implants. Bone grafting takes either bone from your own body or from a safe donor source to both replace the lost bone and promote new bone growth. Successful bone grafting from Dr. Phan will not only help ensure your candidacy for dental implants, but improve the health and strength of your bone.
