Jawbone only maintains itself while it is being used. Once a tooth is gone the bone that held it starts thinning within months, and after a few years there may not be enough left to anchor an implant. Grafting rebuilds that volume so the jaw can support a replacement.
At Bluewater Dental, our Juno Beach team performs socket preservation at the time of extraction to prevent the loss in the first place, ridge augmentation to rebuild width and height where teeth have been missing for years, and sinus lift procedures to create room for upper implants where the sinus floor sits too low.
Dr. Blake Willoughby leads our Juno Beach practice on Donald Ross Road, where grafting and the implant that follows are planned as one sequence rather than two referrals.
