Bone Grafting — Thousand Oaks, CA
Rebuilding the FoundationFor Your New Smile
A Strong Foundation for Your New Smile
Have you been told your jaw may not have enough bone for dental implants? When teeth go missing, the bone that once held them gradually shrinks, leaving implants without anything solid to anchor to. Bone grafting rebuilds that lost volume and restores a stable foundation for implants and long-term oral health. It is a routine, well-proven step that makes lasting tooth replacement possible for many more people.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a routine procedure that rebuilds jawbone lost to missing teeth, gum disease, or years of denture wear. Grafting material is placed where the bone has thinned, and over the following months your body turns it into strong, healthy new bone. It is most often used to prepare the jaw for dental implants, making sure there is enough support for an implant to anchor securely. We plan every graft with CBCT 3D imaging, so you know exactly what is needed, and what is not, before anything begins.
Who Is a Candidate for Bone Grafting?
-
Low Bone — If another office told you there is not enough bone for implants, grafting can often rebuild what is missing.
-
Missing Teeth — The jaw shrinks steadily after a tooth is lost, so the longer a gap has been there, the more likely a graft is needed.
-
Gum Disease — Advanced periodontal disease wears away the bone that supports your teeth, and grafting can help restore what was lost.
-
Before Extraction — Placing graft material right after a tooth comes out, called ridge preservation, protects the site for a future implant.

Dr. Saeed and his office are fantastic! His work on my mouth is better than any of the previous specialists I've seen over the decades.

My mouth is one of the most complicated my specialists treat, and they were unanimous about Dr. Saeed. He's highly skilled and answers all of my questions. They treat you like family when you're in their care.
