Bone Grafting for Dental Implants


Ohio oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Faisal Quereshy recommends bone grafting to patients who have inadequate bone structure for dental implants.

Bone Grafting Preparation

Dr. Quereshy will have you start preparing for your procedure and provide you with aftercare instructions and necessary prescriptions well in advance so you are ready to go when the day of your surgery arrives.

Before and after surgery, you will be directed to discontinue taking medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as ibuprofen, aspirin and vitamin E.

If you smoke or use other tobacco products, you will be required to quit using them before your procedure. You will also be directed to abstain from alcohol for one week before your treatment.

Bone Grafting Surgery

Bone grafting repairs implant sites with inadequate bone structure. The bone can be obtained from a tissue bank or from your own bone. Your sinuses or nerves may also interfere with the placement of dental implants, which may require reconstruction of the jaw with bone grafting. There are several types of bone grafting procedures, including:

  • Major bone grafting
  • Sinus grafting
  • Ridge expansion

Your treatment will depend on how much correction is required in the area.
