A strong and healthy jawbone is essential for the success of dental implants.
When bone loss occurs due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, it can weaken the foundation needed to support an implant. Bone grafting is a proven surgical procedure that rebuilds jawbone structure, giving patients the stability required for lasting tooth replacement.
At Northport Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we use advanced grafting techniques to help restore both function and appearance.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting involves adding bone material to areas of the jaw where bone density has diminished. This material can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic substitutes, and over time, it fuses with your natural bone through osseointegration.

When is Bone Grafting Needed?
You may need bone grafting if:
- You’ve experienced bone loss from missing teeth
- Gum disease has damaged the jawbone
- You’re preparing for dental implant placement
- You’ve had facial trauma or injury affecting bone structure
The Bone Grafting Process
- Evaluation & Planning – We assess your bone health with advanced imaging technology.
- Graft Placement – Bone material is carefully placed in the needed area to rebuild structure.
- Healing Phase – The bone integrates and strengthens over several months, preparing the site for dental implants.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
