Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or reinforce the jawbone in areas where bone has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. A strong, healthy jawbone is essential for the long-term success of dental implants.

At Deakin Dental Mildura, we assess each patient individually to determine whether bone grafting is required prior to implant placement.

Why is Bone Grafting Needed?

• Insufficient bone volume or density for implant placement
• Bone loss following tooth extraction
• Bone deterioration from periodontal (gum) disease
• Trauma or injury to the jaw

What to Expect

Bone grafting is typically performed under local anaesthesia. After the graft material is placed, a healing period of several months is required before implant placement can proceed. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
