Bone Grafting

Strengthen Your Jawbone for Long Term Oral Health

Bone grafting is a foundational procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw. Patients who choose River’s Edge Dental for bone grafting want predictable, high quality results and a team that prioritizes comfort, clarity, and long term stability. Bone grafting is often an essential step before dental implants or after tooth loss to maintain the strength and structure of the jaw.

Our approach focuses on precise planning, gentle techniques, and educating patients so they feel confident in every step of their treatment.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

We offer several types of bone grafts depending on your needs:

Socket Preservation (Ridge Preservation)

Placed immediately after an extraction to prevent bone loss and maintain shape.

Sinus Lift

Adds bone in the upper back jaw when the sinus floor is too low for implant placement.

Vertical or Horizontal Ridge Augmentation

Restores height or width of the jawbone for ideal implant support.

Periodontal Bone Grafts

Repair bone damaged by gum disease.

We tailor the treatment to ensure the best support for your long term oral health.

Why Bone Grafting Is Important

When a tooth is lost or removed, the surrounding bone naturally begins to shrink. Without proper support, this can lead to:

Jawbone deterioration
Collapsed or sunken facial appearance
Shifting of surrounding teeth
Difficulty placing dental implants
Decreased stability of dentures
Compromised bite function
Long term oral health problems

Bone grafting restores the foundation of your jaw, creating the stability needed for both current function and future treatment options.

Our Bone Grafting Process

The bone grafting process includes:

Comprehensive Evaluation

We take digital imaging to assess bone levels and plan treatment precisely.

Sedation Options for Comfort

Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation are available to create a smooth, comfortable experience.

Placement of the Bone Graft

A grafting material is placed in the area of deficiency to rebuild bone structure.

Healing and Integration

Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating strength and stability.

Follow Up and Restoration

Once healed, the area may be ready for dental implants or other restorative treatments.

Patients appreciate the clarity and confidence of this structured, supportive approach.
