Understanding Bone Grafts The “Why” Behind the Procedure
The jaw maintains its strength, density, and shape because of regular stimulation from tooth roots. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone loses that stimulation, which causes it to atrophy at the location of the missing tooth. An atrophied bone is weaker, more fragile, and unable to support prosthetics like dental implants.
Dental bone grafting counteracts this negative consequence of tooth loss by surgically placing natural or synthetic materials to initiate the growth of new bone. Once the bone has naturally integrated with the graft, patients are able to restore their smiles with dental implants.
A Stronger Jaw & Improved Candidacy The Benefits of Bone Grafting
Strengthen Your Jaw
A jaw that recedes due to tooth loss is weaker, making it more difficult to bite into your favorite foods and more vulnerable to fractures. Restoring bone density with a graft can restore your jaw's natural strength.
Maintain Your Appearance
As the jawbone atrophies, it affects your facial features, resulting in a sunken, aged appearance. A bone graft can maintain the integrity of your jaw line so you look as healthy and youthful as possible.
Qualify for Implants
Dental implants are the best option for restoring missing teeth, but implants require a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw. If you are not ready for dental implants because your jawbone has atrophied, a bone graft procedure can restore your candidacy.
Common Cases When Bone Grafting Is Performed
At Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa, the most common times for our oral surgeons to perform bone grafting are:
After Tooth Extraction
If you have a damaged tooth that requires tooth extraction, our oral surgeons can painlessly remove the tooth and then place graft materials at the site to proactively prepare for dental implant treatment.
Before Implant Placement
If you already have a missing tooth, our oral surgeons can place a graft to prepare your bone for implants. The extent of bone grafting that is necessary will be determined by the severity of your case.

How Are Bone Grafts Placed? A Treatment Timeline
While bone grafts can be implemented in a variety of dental treatment plans, we most often conduct bone grafting to prepare patients for dental implant surgery. Not all implant patients require bone grafts. Whether or not you will require a grafting procedure can be determined by one of our oral surgeons in a dental implant consultation.
For patients who do require bone grafting, the extent of the procedure is determined by the health of their existing bone, the number of missing teeth, and other factors. However, most patients can expect the grafting procedure to follow several steps:

Replace Missing Teeth With
Dental Implants
At Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa, dental implant surgery is one of our most regularly performed procedures. We produce great results with implants and encourage all patients with tooth loss to consider this life-changing solution.
A dental implant is a titanium rod that acts as a prosthetic tooth root. Titanium is biocompatible and naturally fuses with the jawbone or bone graft, so they are just as secure and powerful as natural roots. After the implants are securely fused, our team or a dentist can provide natural-looking crowns or bridges to seamlessly fill in the gaps in your smile.
Dental implants are such a great option because they are durable, they keep the jaw strong, and they can last a lifetime. If you think implants could make a difference in your life, we encourage you to contact our bone grafting and dental implant team in Tampa, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, or Valrico today.
