Bone Grafting - Chelmsford, MA
Restore More than Your Bone
Qualify for a New Life with Bone Grafting
If you’ve lost jawbone mass, you may have been told that you’re not eligible for dental implants. Having sufficient bone volume is critical to the long-term success of dental implants, which need strong, healthy bone quantity and density to secure them just like real teeth do. Bone loss is often due to gum disease, oral trauma, or chronic tooth loss, and can cause your bite to become misaligned, your facial features to collapse, and other complications. If jawbone loss has affected you, we may recommend bone grafting to reestablish the mass needed to support implants. Bone grafting in Chelmsford, MA rebuilds the bone volume in your jaw to the appropriate levels and can make the difference between a lifetime of missing teeth or a lifetime of great confidence and reliable dental performance.
A Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and a member of the Academy of Osseointegration, our periodontist is uniquely qualified to restore your jaw with advanced bone grafting procedures. With years of advanced training, periodontists are considered the experts in all facets of dental implant treatment. We perform bone grafting by sourcing portions of bone tissue from a safe, biocompatible donor source. We turn the bone into tiny granules and place them into bone grafting sites. With time, the new bone will integrate with the surrounding bone, creating a solid, secure foundation. Our periodontal team uses techniques including guided tissue regeneration to stimulate bone regrowth, and a biocompatible mesh to protect bone grafting sites during the healing process.

Ridge Augmentation and Preservation Restores Your Appearance
A majority of bone grafting procedures are done to alter the ridge, or upper or lower arches that support teeth and dental implants. Ridge augmentation reverses gum indentations caused by bone loss to enhance your oral function and esthetics. When doing this bone grafting procedure, we begin by numbing the tissues. We then add in bone tissue samples to areas that need them. Bone grafting sites are then allowed to heal, giving new bone time to integrate with existing bone before we place dental implants. Our team also provides ridge preservation bone grafting, adding new bone tissue into recent extraction sites to preserve them for future implant placement.
