When there isn't enough healthy bone to support a dental implant, Dr. Tapia can rebuild the area with a bone graft — creating a stable foundation for future implant placement.
Grafting material is placed at the site of bone loss, where it encourages your body's own bone to regenerate over several months. Once healed, the site is re-evaluated for implant readiness.
While grafting adds a step to treatment, it often makes the difference between qualifying for an implant and needing a removable alternative instead.
