Bone Grafting at Clearwater, FL
Bone Grafting
Rebuilds Your Jaw Bone
Your jaw bone plays a critical role in supporting your natural teeth by securely holding them in place. Without healthy jaw bones, natural teeth may loosen or fall out altogether, hindering dental implant success rates. When bone loss affects jaw health, ridge augmentation or bone grafting treatments such as bone grafting offer solutions.
Bone grafting procedures enable the rebuilding of bone lost due to factors like deterioration, periodontal disease, or oral trauma. By rebuilding acceptable bone volume and creating space in the jaw for dental implant support, bone grafting procedures provide the ideal preparation process. At Clearwater Dentist, bone grafting seamlessly fits into our comprehensive dental implant process.
With our comprehensive dental implant services, you can access every facet of implant care under one roof. From initial consultations to bone grafting procedures and implant placement, our team ensures an easy experience for our patients.

How We Preform The Procedure
Under bone grafting procedures, bone tissue is extracted either from your own body or a donor source and placed at the site of bone loss. Over time, the material will heal and integrate into surrounding bone tissue - increasing bone volume over time. To ensure proper healing processes take place, guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques may also be implemented.
GTR uses a biocompatible membrane that covers bone graft material to keep gum tissue at bay during healing and promote the formation of new bone while blocking any unwanted ingress of unwanted tissues. After several months have passed, you will have acquired enough bone volume necessary to support dental implants securely, setting the stage for successful dental implant placement. This comprehensive approach ensures the success of bone grafting procedures while setting the groundwork for their successful implementation.
Full-Scope Implant Care In-House
If you wear dentures or anticipate needing them soon, exploring implant-supported dentures is highly recommended. At Clearwater Dentist, our dedicated team is here to assist every step of the implant and full-arch solution process, and ensure a hassle-free experience for you.
Implant-supported dentures follow similar steps as receiving individual dental implants, with our team taking great care in placing implants to anchor denture appliances in your jawbone after extraction and bone grafting (if required) have taken place. These anchoring implants serve as anchors for denture devices to rest upon.
Once implants have been secured in their positions, we utilize an implant-supported denture appliance to support them; typically between two to four implants will provide stability for your denture to snap onto. With implant-supported dentures securely in place, you can speak and eat confidently knowing your denture won't shift or come loose during regular activities such as eating or speaking.
