When considering dental implants, having sufficient bone structure is crucial for long-term success. At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we specialize in bone grafting procedures to restore lost jawbone, creating a strong foundation for dental implants.

If your bony ridge is too thin or lacks density, a bone graft may be required before implant placement. This procedure rebuilds the missing bone and allows for proper osseointegration (fusion between the implant and bone), ensuring long-term implant stability.
