Bone Grafting

Lost bone doesn’t have to mean lost options. Grafting rebuilds the foundation your implant needs.

When a tooth has been missing for a while, the bone beneath it gradually shrinks. That can make implant placement tricky, but it doesn’t take it off the table.


Bone grafting adds bone material to the area, giving your jaw time to rebuild before an implant is placed. Dr. Daniel Dafo performs bone grafts right here, often at the same appointment as a tooth extraction to preserve bone from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need bone grafting before an implant?

    Not always. Dr. Dafo evaluates your bone density with imaging. If sufficient bone exists, you may skip this step.
  • Does bone grafting hurt?

    The area is fully numbed, and most patients report minimal discomfort afterward. Dr. Dafo walks you through recovery expectations.
