At Degenhardt Dental, our dentists have the skills, training, and expertise to offer comprehensive implant dentistry, including bone grafting, at our Troy, MI, dental office. Bone grafting makes dental implants accessible to everyone, even patients who’ve suffered from bone loss and may have been told they weren’t good candidates for dental implants.
Bone grafting is a highly reliable procedure with a 99 percent success rate that supports the success of dental implants and offers several additional benefits for patients.
Bone grafting ensures that your jawbone can support a tooth implant successfully.
Bone grafting restores bone and facial structure, which can enhance your appearance.
Bone grafting improves your jawbone structure, creating a stable foundation to support a tooth implant.
A strong jawbone makes it easier to chew and eat food, which improves nutrition and digestion.
My first visit at this clinic and couldn’t be more happier on how Dr. Christopher and his team have worked together being gentle with taking my xrays and explaining me through the entire process and treatment plan. Cassandra was knowledgeable and helpful at the front.

To successfully support dental implants, the patient must have enough healthy bone structure for effective implant placement. The titanium tooth implant fuses and integrates with the bone naturally through an osseointegration process that allows it to replace your root.
If you lack healthy bone due to denture wear, trauma, or periodontal disease, a bone grafting procedure fills in the missing bone structure so we can eventually place a dental implant.
During a bone grafting procedure, our dentists add bone material to the deteriorated area of your jawbone during a simple surgical procedure. The bone material will integrate with your jawbone to rebuild the structure, which takes three to six months.
Once your jawbone is fully healed from bone grafting surgery, it will be adequately prepared to effectively support a dental implant.
If you’re considering dental implants to restore your smile, the first step is booking an evaluation with one of our dentists.
They will provide a thorough exam and use x-rays and 3-D imaging to evaluate your bone health and determine if you’re an automatic candidate for tooth implants or if bone grafting beforehand would be beneficial. Our dentists will discuss your treatment options so you can feel confident about your decisions.
You’ll leave your consultation with a complete understanding of your treatment needs, the timeline for finishing it, and the cost, which varies with each patient’s unique needs.
