1.4. Bone grafting
Sometimes bone grafting may also be necessary. If there is not enough bone in the jaw, bone grafting can help increase the volume of bone that will be the foundation for the implant. Bone grafting involves adding bone from another part of the body or artificial bone to your jawbone. The graft will fuse with the bone over 4-6 months to support the implant.
2. Implantation
Depending on the amount of bone grafting, the doctor will decide to graft the bone right during the implant placement or perform the bone grafting first and wait until the bone integrates well before placing the implant. The implant will be implanted into the jawbone at the location of the missing tooth. Bone cells will grow around the implant during the healing process. The patient will return for a check-up and have the stitches removed 10 days after the implant placement.
