Bone Grafts
Bone Grafts at Wauwatosa Dental Arts
Bone grafting strengthens areas of the jaw where bone has thinned or receded, creating the support needed for dental implants or healthier gum and tooth stability. Patients in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin choose bone grafts to protect their oral health, restore function, and keep future treatment options open.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
When a tooth is missing, the jawbone in that area can shrink over time. Bone grafting replaces lost volume so your bite stays stable and your smile stays supported. It can also help preserve neighboring teeth and improve overall oral health.
- Prepare For Dental Implants Build the bone volume needed for secure, long-lasting implant support.
- Preserve Your Jaw After Extraction Prevent bone collapse and maintain natural facial shape.
- Support Gum Health Restore bone lost to periodontal disease and improve stability.
- Improve Comfort And Function Rebuild strength for easier chewing and a more balanced bite.
What To Expect During Treatment
Your visit starts with a detailed evaluation and imaging to measure bone levels and plan the graft precisely. The graft material is placed in the area that needs support, then protected as your body builds new bone over the next few months. We’ll guide you through healing with clear instructions and check-ins along the way.
Technology We Use For Predictable Results
