Bone grafting restores volume to the jaw after tooth loss or gum disease, often as a step before implants. Here's what's involved and typical local pricing.
When teeth are lost or periodontitis destroys supporting bone, the jaw can shrink, leaving too little structure for implants. Bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration rebuild that foundation using your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic material. A sinus lift is a specialized graft in the upper back jaw. Periodontists in Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton routinely perform these procedures as part of implant planning.
Bone placed into an extraction site immediately to prevent collapse before an implant.
Rebuilds width or height of the jaw ridge where bone has been lost.
Adds bone beneath the sinus to allow upper back-tooth implants.
Periodontists are the gum, soft-tissue and dental-implant specialists. After dental school they complete about three years of accredited residency. The defining credential is board certification — Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology — on top of AAP membership.
