Bone Grafts Towson

Giving Your Smile a Strong Foundation

While some patients can get dental implants right away, others require a bone graft first. It builds up the jaw so that the new tooth roots can be trusted to remain stable and strong as the years go by. Dr. Genc has performed thousands of successful bone grafts over the years, so you can trust you’re in great hands.

How Bone Grafting Works

Bone grafting essentially acts as a scaffold. It allows bone-forming cells to migrate into the area and regenerate new bone. This process strengthens the site, maintains bone volume, and improves future treatment success!

Why Bone Grafting After Tooth Extraction Matters

When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone naturally begins to shrink — a process known as bone resorption. If the socket is not grafted, the following occurs:

  • Bone loss can begin quickly
  • Jaw structure weakens over time
  • Implant placement becomes more difficult
  • Larger grafting procedures may be needed later

The longer the area remains without a tooth, the more bone is lost.

The Importance of Socket Preservation

For patients considering dental implants or even bridges, bone grafting at the time of extraction is strongly recommended.

It helps:

  • Preserves the natural shape of the jaw
  • Creates a foundation for implants
  • Supports migration of bone-forming cells
  • Maintains long-term oral structure
