Will I Need a Bone Graft After My Extraction?

Not everyone needs a bone graft after a tooth is removed.

Whether we recommend one depends on the condition of the tooth, the amount of remaining bone, and whether you may want to replace the tooth with a dental implant in the future.

A bone graft helps preserve the jawbone, which may improve your treatment options later. If we recommend one, we’ll explain why and answer all of your questions before treatment begins.

Our goal is to help you make the best decision for both your immediate needs and your long-term oral health.
