Rebuild The Foundation Your Implant Needs With Bone Grafting
When bone loss stands between you and implants, we rebuild the foundation
Bone grafting is often the step that turns “not enough bone” into a workable implant treatment plan. It can be used after extractions, in areas damaged by periodontal disease, or in sites that have been missing teeth long enough for the jaw to shrink. At PIHP, grafting is planned around the exact shape of the defect, your long-term implant goal, and the quality of the tissues around it. That detail matters because stronger bone support leads to more predictable implant placement later.
your journey
What bone grafting treatment involves
Site evaluation and imaging
We assess bone width, height, and quality to understand exactly what is missing and what the implant site will require.
Graft placement
The graft material is placed in the deficient area and protected so your body can rebuild stronger support in the right shape.
Healing and regeneration
Over the next several months, the site matures and develops the new support needed for implant placement.
Implant readiness review
We re-scan or re-evaluate the site once healing is complete to confirm the area is ready for the next surgical phase.
why this practice
Why grafting can be worth doing first
Can turn a borderline site into a stronger candidate
Bone grafting can create the volume and support needed to place implants more safely and predictably.
Protects future restorative options
Rebuilding the site properly can improve implant positioning and the appearance of the final restoration.
Helps after bone loss from gum disease
Advanced periodontal breakdown often damages the same support implants rely on, making regeneration an important first step.
Supports longer-term stability
A stronger foundation gives the implant a better biomechanical and tissue environment over time.
