Bone Grafting

Why Bone Grafting Is Done

Bone grafting may be recommended if:

  • A tooth has been missing for a long time

  • You have experienced bone loss from infection or gum disease

  • An extraction site needs to be preserved for a future implant

Rebuilding the bone helps protect facial structure, prevent shifting of nearby teeth, and create a strong foundation for your implant.

What to Expect

Bone grafting is performed right here in our office, often at the same time as a tooth extraction. We use biocompatible grafting materials and advanced techniques to support natural healing and bone growth.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and are able to return to normal activities quickly. Dr. Piccione and our team will walk you through every step so you always know what to expect.

Gentle, Patient-Focused Care

We understand that hearing the word “bone graft” can sound intimidating — but in reality, it is a routine, highly successful procedure that makes long-term implant success possible.

Dr. Michael Piccione is known for his calm, gentle approach and takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and informed before moving forward.

If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for an implant, a consultation may surprise you — we’re here to help.
