Bone Grafting in Miami

Bone grafting is a critical preparatory procedure for patients who need dental implants but lack sufficient bone volume due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. Miami's oral surgeons and periodontists are experts in bone regeneration techniques that restore the jaw's natural architecture.

Why Is Bone Grafting Needed Before Implants?

After tooth extraction, the jawbone begins to resorb (shrink) within months. A minimum bone volume is required to securely anchor an implant. Bone grafts — using your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials — stimulate regeneration and provide the foundation for successful implant integration.

Bone Graft Cost in Miami

Socket preservation grafts (placed at time of extraction) cost $300–$800. Larger block bone grafts or sinus lifts range from $1,500–$5,000. The investment is well worth it — proper bone grafting dramatically improves implant success rates and long-term outcomes.
