Bone Grafting to Rebuild Your Jaw
A bone graft reinforces spots in the jaw where bone has grown thin or pulled back, laying down the support that implants — and steadier gums and teeth — depend on. Across Mequon, Wisconsin, patients choose grafting to safeguard their oral health, get function back, and leave the door open for future treatment.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
Lose a tooth, and the bone that once cradled it slowly recedes. Grafting puts that lost volume back so your bite holds firm and your smile keeps its scaffolding — while also helping the neighboring teeth and your broader oral health.
- Prepare For Dental Implants Add the bone volume an implant needs to sit securely for the long haul.
- Preserve Your Jaw After Extraction Keep the ridge from caving in and hold on to your natural facial contours.
- Support Gum Health Replace the bone periodontal disease has worn away and firm things back up.
- Improve Comfort And Function Restore the strength you need to chew easily and bite evenly.
What To Expect During Treatment
We begin with a close evaluation and imaging to gauge your bone levels and plot the graft down to the detail. The material goes exactly where support is missing, then stays protected while, over the coming months, your body knits new bone around it — and we check in with clear guidance the whole way.
Technology We Use For Predictable Results
- 3D imaging that maps your bone volume and pinpoints where the graft goes
- Biocompatible graft materials selected for your particular case
- A gentle surgical touch geared toward comfort and steady healing
