  • Bone Grafting for Dental Implants in New Brighton, MN

    A strong foundation for a long-lasting smile.

    Successful dental implants depend on healthy bone. If bone has thinned due to missing teeth or gum disease, a simple bone graft can restore strength and create the solid base your implant needs. At Parkside Dental, Dr. Anna Weber uses modern, gentle techniques to make the process comfortable and predictable.

    • What Is Bone Grafting?

    A bone graft adds or rebuilds bone where it’s needed most — typically in the upper or lower jaw. The material (either natural or biocompatible) bonds with your existing bone, creating a stable platform for implant placement.

    Common Reasons for Bone Loss:

    • Tooth loss (over time the jaw shrinks where a tooth was missing)
    • Periodontal disease (gum infection weakens bone structure)
    • Injury or trauma
    • Long-term denture use

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Does bone grafting hurt?

      No. Bone grafting is performed with local anesthetic or sedation, and most patients report mild soreness rather than significant pain.

    • How long does it take to heal?

      Most patients heal within 3–6 months, depending on graft size and location.

    • Will my body accept the graft?

      Yes — biocompatible materials encourage your own bone cells to grow and replace the graft naturally.

    • Can I get a bone graft and implant on the same day?

      In many cases, yes. Dr. Weber will determine if immediate placement is possible after evaluation.
