Bone Grafting in Riverview, FL

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds volume and density to the jawbone. It’s most commonly done in preparation for dental implants when there isn’t enough natural bone to support the implant.

The graft material may come from:

• Your own bone (autograft)
  
• Donor bone (allograft)
  
• Synthetic biocompatible material
  

Once placed, the graft encourages new bone growth over time, strengthening the area for future implant placement.

Why Would I Need a Bone Graft?

You may need bone grafting if:

• A tooth has been missing for a long time
  
• You’ve had a dental infection or gum disease
  
• You experienced trauma or injury to the jaw
  
• Your sinus cavity is too close to the upper jaw (may need a sinus lift)
  
• You’re planning for implant placement after extractions
  

Even if you’ve been told you're not a candidate for implants due to bone loss, bone grafting may make treatment possible.

Types of Bone Grafting We Offer

At EverySmile Dental Riverview, we perform several types of bone grafts based on your specific needs:

Ridge Preservation (Socket Preservation)

Placed immediately after a tooth extraction to prevent bone shrinkage in the socket.

Horizontal or Vertical Augmentation

Rebuilds areas of bone that are too thin or short to support implants.

Sinus Lift

Raises the sinus floor in the upper jaw to allow for secure implant placement in the back teeth area.

We’ll review your options during a detailed consultation and create a plan that supports long-term success.

What to Expect During the Bone Graft Procedure

1. Consultation & Digital Imaging: We use 3D scans to assess bone density and shape, and determine the grafting approach needed.
   
2. Surgical Placement: The graft material is placed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on complexity.
   
3. Healing Period: Bone regeneration takes 3–6 months before implant placement can begin.
   

Throughout the process, we ensure your comfort and provide clear post-op instructions to support optimal healing.

Does Bone Grafting Hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options for anxious patients. Most people experience mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.

We’ll walk you through every step of what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
