Jawbone maintains itself only while it is being used. Once a tooth is gone the bone that held it begins thinning within months, and after a few years there may not be enough left to anchor a replacement. Grafting rebuilds that volume so the jaw can carry an implant again.
At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office performs socket preservation at the time of extraction to prevent the loss happening at all, ridge augmentation to rebuild width and height where teeth have been missing for years, and sinus lifts to create room for upper implants where the sinus floor sits too low.
Dr. Calvin Kaler leads our Palm Beach Gardens office on Burns Road, where grafting and the implant that follows are planned as one sequence rather than two referrals.
