Bone Grafting
in Northeast Brampton
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost after tooth loss, so you can have a strong, stable foundation for dental implants. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we offer socket preservation and ridge augmentation using safe, proven graft materials.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting places bone material where the jaw has shrunk or been damaged. The graft may come from your own bone, processed donor bone or synthetic sources. Over time, it remodels into your natural bone.
Types of Bone Grafts
- Socket preservation: placed at the time of extraction to protect the bone and simplify future implant treatment.
- Ridge augmentation: rebuilds a jaw ridge that has lost height or width.
Benefits
- Restores bone volume lost after extraction or tooth loss.
- Creates a foundation for stable, long-lasting implants.
- Helps prevent further bone loss in the area.
- Multiple safe graft materials available.
The Process
- Assessment and imaging: X-rays or cone-beam CT scans measure existing bone.
- Treatment planning: we choose the graft type and technique.
- Graft placement: under local anaesthesia, covered with a membrane and closed.
- Healing: the graft remodels into native bone.
- Implant placement: once integration is confirmed.
Healing Time
Soft tissue heals within two to three weeks. The bone itself takes three to six months to integrate and remodel before it can support an implant.
