Bone Grafting in Washington, DC
Rebuild the Foundation for Your Smile
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has thinned after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. It's often the first step to create a stable foundation for dental implants or to restore facial support and oral function.
The Bone Grafting Process
Imaging & Planning
3D scans measure bone height and width; graft type and timing are determined.
Preparation
Local anesthesia is administered and the surgical site is gently prepared.
Graft Placement
Biocompatible material is placed and a membrane may guide healing.
Closure
Stitches secure the site and aftercare instructions are provided.
Healing
Over 3–6 months your body replaces graft material with natural bone.
