Dental Bone Graft Procedures for Implant Patients

in East Sussex

Preparing a Strong Foundation for Lasting Implant Success

When teeth are lost, the underlying jawbone often begins to shrink over time. This natural process can make placing dental implants more complex, but it doesn’t make them impossible. Bone grafting is a routine and highly effective procedure used to restore bone volume and ensure there’s enough support for your future implants.

At The Implant Centre, we provide expert bone grafting treatment as part of our comprehensive implant care. Whether you’ve been missing teeth for many years or have been told you lack sufficient bone, we offer tailored solutions to help prepare your mouth for long-term implant success.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting involves adding new bone material to areas where natural bone has deteriorated. This process helps to rebuild the jaw and create a stable base for dental implants.

You may need a bone graft if:

  • You’ve had missing teeth for a prolonged period

  • You’ve worn dentures that have caused bone resorption

  • You have experienced periodontal (gum) disease or infection

  • A previous extraction left the bone weakened or uneven

By restoring bone volume, we help ensure that implants can be placed securely and in the ideal position for function and aesthetics.

Rebuild with Confidence

If you've been told you're not suitable for implants due to bone loss, bone grafting may be the solution. Contact our East Sussex team today to schedule a consultation and explore the best treatment plan for your needs.

The Procedure: Comfortable and Precisely Planned

Every bone grafting procedure at The Implant Centre is carefully planned using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools. We offer several types of grafting depending on your needs, including minor localised grafts and more extensive rebuilding when required.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic with optional sedation for your comfort. Most patients describe the experience as manageable and are surprised by how little discomfort they feel afterwards.

Healing typically takes a few months, during which time the grafted bone integrates with your natural jawbone. Once healing is complete, your implant placement can go ahead with confidence.

Your Path to Implants Starts with the Right Foundation

A successful implant depends on more than the implant itself. The health and strength of the bone beneath it are just as important. Bone grafting gives you the foundation you need for a stable, natural-looking result that lasts.

At The Implant Centre, we provide clear explanations and step-by-step guidance, so you know exactly what to expect. From your first consultation through to implant placement and follow-up, our team is committed to your comfort, safety and long-term oral health.
