Bone Grafting in Raleigh & Wake Forest, NC

Rebuild jawbone to support implants and restore your smile.

When the jawbone has thinned after tooth loss, a bone graft rebuilds it — creating a strong foundation for dental implants and preserving your facial structure. Village Dental offers bone grafting at all four Triangle offices as part of implant planning.

The basics

What is bone grafting?

After a tooth is lost, the jawbone that supported it gradually shrinks. A bone graft adds material to rebuild that bone.

It’s most often done to prepare a site for a dental implant that needs more bone to hold it securely, or to preserve bone right after an extraction.

Over a few months the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a stable foundation for a lasting restoration.
