Bone Grafting in NE Calgary

After a tooth is extracted, the surrounding bone begins to resorb naturally. Socket preservation involves placing bone graft material into the empty socket immediately after extraction to maintain bone volume and prevent the collapse of surrounding tissues. This proactive approach makes future implant placement simpler and more predictable.

When significant bone loss has already occurred, ridge augmentation rebuilds the width and height of the alveolar ridge, the bony area that once held your teeth. This procedure involves placing bone graft material along the ridge and covering it with a protective membrane. Over several months, your body generates new bone that integrates with the graft, creating a solid base for implants.

For implants in the upper back jaw, the sinus cavity may be too close to the jawbone to allow safe implant placement. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus floor and places bone graft material beneath it, increasing the available bone height for a successful implant.

Your dentist will assess your jawbone using imaging to determine the right grafting approach for your case. The procedure itself is performed with local anesthesia or sedation for comfort, placing graft material where needed. Over the following months, your body regenerates new bone around the graft, creating a solid foundation before implant placement moves forward.

Bone grafting is most often a preparatory step before Dental Implants or All-on-4 Implants, ensuring there is enough bone to support the new teeth. If bone loss followed a recent extraction, this may connect back to your original Wisdom Tooth Extraction treatment.

The cost of bone grafting depends on the type and extent of grafting needed, whether that is socket preservation, ridge augmentation, or a sinus lift.
