Bone & Gum Tissue Grafting

Bone and gum tissue grafting is an important procedure for dental care, but many people don’t understand why it’s necessary or the details of the process. To help explain this valuable service we offer here at Smile for Life Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we wanted to share a few facts about bone and gum tissue grafting.

Here are four things you should know about bone and gum tissue grafting
  • Bone and gum tissue grafting is used when there is insufficient jawbone material available to place a dental implant. The procedure involves taking healthy bones from elsewhere in the body (or in some cases using donor bones) and placing them into the jawbone where teeth have been missing or extracted. 
  • The bone and gum tissue grafting process helps provide stability for dental implants that would otherwise be impossible to place. Without the procedure, missing teeth gaps can become larger as jawbone material deteriorates. 
  • Bone and gum tissue grafting is a safe and effective procedure that has been used in dentistry for many years. At Smile for Life Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use only the most advanced techniques for these procedures to ensure patients are comfortable every step of the way. 
  • Bone and gum tissue grafting can help restore your smile’s appearance by providing additional support to adjacent teeth, preventing them from shifting over time. This also helps preserve the shape of your face, avoiding sunken facial features that can occur when teeth are missing.


At Smile for Life Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand how important it is to have a healthy and complete smile. That’s why we offer bone and gum tissue grafting services so you can get back to smiling confidently in no time!
