What are the benefits of Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting in Burnaby is an effective way to restore your jawbone’s mass to improve your oral health. It has multiple benefits that make it a recommended treatment for qualifying patients.
Bone Grafting Enhances Your Appearance
When you lose mass in your jawbone, this affects your appearance. The shape of your mouth and face will change, and you’ll likely have more wrinkles around your mouth. A bone graft restores your bone mass, smile, and former appearance, improving your self-confidence.
You Can Preserve Your Teeth with Bone Grafting
As your jawbone deteriorates, this impacts the health of your nearby teeth. Less bone mass means that your jawbone isn’t able to effectively hold your teeth in, putting you at a higher risk of loosing your teeth.
A Bone Graft is Safe and Non-Invasive
The bone grafting procedure is low-risk, has a high success rate, and is usually done under local anesthesia. You’ll be able to return to school or work in a day or two.

Bone Grafting
Bone grafting replaces density and volume in the jaw where bone loss has occurred. Here’s what you need to know about bone grafting in Burnaby.
Bone grafting is a procedure that uses material from your body, an animal tissue bank, a human tissue bank, or synthetic material, to replace lost bone mass.
Once we place the graft, your body is encouraged to produce its own bone tissue. We can also combine bone grafting with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections to promote tissue production and encourage the healing process.
We commonly perform bone grafting in Burnaby in preparation for further dental treatments. For example, if you’re replacing a tooth with a dental implant, your implant needs ample amounts of jawbone to properly fuse to your mouth.
If you’re getting dentures, you’ll need a sturdy jawbone for your dentures to fit properly and restore your ability to bite and chew.
We welcome new patients!
