A weakened jawbone doesn’t mean you have to give up on dental implants. Through bone grafting, Dr. Vail can strengthen your jaw and make implants possible. This essential first step rebuilds the foundation you need for a lasting, confident smile.
Your dentist will use either natural donor bone or synthetic materials for your grafting procedure. The material is precisely placed to enhance your jaw’s strength. Over the following months, the grafting material works with your body’s natural healing process to encourage the growth of new bone.
You’ll return here for your new smile. Your teeth replacement options with implants include:
You can also get a graft before getting standard dentures or a standard bridge.

Kind, friendly and funny. I have never been so happy at the dentist and excited to make a new appointment.
Dr. Cross was awesome.
And so was her assistant.
I never ever felt so at ease and comfortable.
I didn’t even tense up.
Thank you. God bless.

Dr. Vail (junior) recently fixed 2 chipped teeth for me, and another 2 for my husband, with composite veneers. We are both thrilled with the results. An inexpensive (compared to other estimates we got), quick procedure & very natural… looks just like our original teeth!
Great team! Amazing staff! Everyone at Dr. Vail’s office is amazing but I would like thank Lamia, who is an exceptional associate who I noticed goes above and beyond to ensure her patient thank you to everyone and the staff .

If you have a weak or thin jawbone and are unable to get dental implants, a bone graft can make implants a reality. Your dentist will carefully insert synthetic bone material in your gum. Over the next few months, this material will stimulate the growth of new bone cells in your jaw. Soon, your jaw will be strong enough to support implants and replacement teeth.
One of the most common reasons for bone grafts is to strengthen a jaw so that it can successfully support implants. The more time that has passed since you’ve lost teeth, the more likely you may need a graft to receive implants. Without tooth roots to provide stimulation, the bone in your jaw begins to shrink – as much as 25 percent in the first year after tooth loss.
Yes, bone grafts can help save teeth in certain situations. When a tooth is at risk due to bone loss caused by gum disease or trauma, a bone graft can be used to regenerate and strengthen the jawbone. This procedure promotes the growth of new bone tissue, providing a stable foundation for the tooth. Bone grafts can be an effective solution to preserve and support teeth that would otherwise be at risk of extraction.
