At Advanced Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, we specialize in advanced bone and soft tissue procedures that restore oral health, provide a strong foundation for dental implants, and improve overall aesthetics. Bone and soft tissue are critical for maintaining a healthy, functional, and natural-looking smile. When teeth are missing, injured, or compromised, surrounding bone and gum tissue can deteriorate over time. Our skilled oral surgeons provide solutions to rebuild these structures, ensuring your implants or restorations last for years and look completely natural.

For patients planning dental implants, grafting increases the long-term success rate and ensures implants are stable, secure, and natural-looking.
Bone and soft tissue grafting are surgical procedures designed to restore areas of the mouth where bone or gum tissue has been lost. These procedures are often essential for patients preparing for dental implants or seeking to preserve oral structure and appearance.
Both procedures can be performed individually or together, depending on your oral health and treatment plan.
Bone loss often occurs gradually and without pain, making early detection difficult. Common causes include:
Without treatment, bone loss can make dental implants difficult or impossible to place and may result in changes to facial appearance, such as a sunken or aged look. Bone grafting addresses these issues and restores structural integrity to the jaw.
At our practice, we provide several grafting techniques customized to each patient’s needs:
Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone shrinkage and preserve the jaw for future implant placement.
Used when bone volume has significantly deteriorated. Ridge augmentation rebuilds the natural shape of the jaw to provide a strong foundation for implants.
Increases bone height in the upper jaw near the molars by lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone material beneath it.
A small piece of the patient’s own bone or donor bone is used to reconstruct areas of severe bone loss, providing maximum stability for implants.
Soft tissue grafting focuses on rebuilding gum tissue to protect teeth and implants, prevent sensitivity, and enhance smile aesthetics. Benefits include:
Soft tissue grafting is often recommended for patients with gum recession, thinning gums, or aesthetic concerns in the smile zone.
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation, including a clinical exam, digital imaging, and a personalized treatment plan. Most grafting procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation for patient comfort.
Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure smooth recovery.
