Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure used to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone volume has been lost or is insufficient. At Richmond Dental Centre, bone augmentation is available as part of our surgical dentistry services and may be recommended when additional bone support is needed for dental implant treatment.

What Is Bone Augmentation?

Bone augmentation, sometimes described as bone grafting, adds graft material to an area of the jaw that needs additional volume or support. Bone loss can occur after tooth loss, gum disease, trauma or other conditions, and grafting may be used to create a stronger foundation for future dental treatment.

Benefits of Bone Augmentation

  • Rebuild areas where jawbone volume has been reduced
  • Create additional support when planning dental implants
  • Help restore the structure of an area affected by bone loss
  • Support treatment planning for selected restorative procedures
  • Allow the surgical site to heal and integrate before later treatment when required

What to Expect With Bone Augmentation

The exact procedure depends on the area being treated, the amount of bone available, and the treatment planned afterward.

Consultation and Assessment: Your dentist evaluates the treatment area and determines whether additional bone support is needed.

Planning the Graft: The source and type of graft material are selected based on the clinical situation and treatment plan.

Graft Placement: The gum tissue is opened to access the area, the graft material is positioned, and the site is closed for healing.

Healing Period: The grafted area is given time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. This process can take several months, depending on the procedure and individual healing.

Follow-Up: The area is monitored during healing before proceeding with implant placement or another planned procedure when appropriate.

Our office is located at 8211 Cook Road in Richmond, BC, and Richmond Dental Centre welcomes new patients, walk-ins, and dental emergencies.
