At Blue Bird Dentistry of Fredericksburg, we understand the importance of having a sturdy foundation for dental implants. Dental implants offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing option for replacing missing teeth. However, adequate, healthy bone structure is essential for successful implant placement.

When teeth are lost or extracted, the surrounding bone may begin to deteriorate over time, a process known as resorption. Insufficient bone volume can compromise the stability and longevity of dental implants. If our examination reveals bone loss at the implant site, we may recommend a bone graft procedure.

A bone graft involves augmenting the existing bone with grafting material, promoting bone regeneration, and strengthening the jawbone structure. Once the graft has fully integrated and healed, your jaw will have the necessary support for dental implant placement.

By addressing bone loss with a bone graft procedure, we can ensure that your dental implants have a solid foundation for optimal function and longevity. Contact Blue Bird Dentistry of Fredericksburg to learn more about building a strong foundation for your dental implants.
