Bone Grafting
Rebuilds and preserves jawbone after tooth loss to protect your long-term oral health.
A bone graft rebuilds or reinforces jawbone that has weakened or shrunk, often after a tooth is lost or removed. It restores a solid foundation in the jaw and helps preserve its shape. It is a common, well-established procedure.
Dr. Pandya places grafting material where bone is needed, and over time your body builds new bone around it. Once the area has strengthened, it can support future tooth-replacement options or other treatment. The procedure is planned carefully and kept as comfortable as possible.
Grafting helps preserve the shape of your jaw and face after tooth loss, when bone can otherwise shrink over time. It also creates a stable foundation for future treatment. It sets the stage for lasting oral health.
