Bone Graft Oral Surgery in Yuma
Some patients don’t have enough jawbone volume to support dental implants. If that’s you, don’t worry — Dr. Mann offers advanced bone graft surgery at our Yuma dental office to help make your dream smile possible.
Bone grafting is a reliable oral surgery procedure that restores bone density and strength in areas where bone loss has occurred. Whether from missing teeth, trauma, or long-term denture use, a bone graft can give your mouth the strong foundation needed for successful dental implants and long-term oral health.
What Is Bone Graft Surgery?
When teeth are missing, the surrounding bone no longer receives the stimulation it needs to stay healthy. Over time, the jawbone may begin to shrink or deteriorate. Trauma or infection can also lead to bone loss. In these cases, bone graft surgery becomes a critical step before placing implants or other restorations.
The procedure involves placing small bone granules into the jaw — usually at the site of a missing or extracted tooth. This encourages your body to grow new, strong bone in the area, restoring volume and structure.
Healing time varies depending on your individual case, but most patients recover in two weeks to three months. Once healed, your jaw will be ready to support dental implants and a restored smile that looks and feels natural.
Our dental team will guide you through every step of the process and tailor your care to your individual needs. You’ll receive expert care in a comfortable environment from a team that truly cares about your results.
