Bone Grafts
Prepare For Sturdy Implants
Bone Grafts in Winnipeg Can Strengthen Your Jaw
Dental implants can replace one or more missing teeth in a way that’s reliable, comfortable, and durable. However, careful planning and preparation is required to ensure that dental implants are successful. For some people, that includes bone grafts in Winnipeg, MB to make their jaw stronger and more receptive to implants. Benefits of dental implants may include:
- A complete smile with secure replacement teeth
- The ability to bite and chew more easily
- A healthier, younger, fuller facial appearance
- Improved oral health and total body health
Call Lakewood Dental Centre at 204-977-8515 today to see if you may need bone grafting to get your jaw in shape for implants. Our general dentists can perform this oral surgery.
Take Action to Strengthen Your Jaw, Secure Implants
Create a Fuller-Looking Face
A dental bone graft bolsters the strength of your jaw and keeps its shape intact. This will:
- Help keep your face looking fuller by preserving the bone structure that supports your muscle and skin
- Provide a better foundation not just for implants but also for other dental restorations like bridges
Our dentists use a material designed to spur bone growth and place that material where it is needed. The material fuses to your existing bone, restoring the shape and strength of your jaw. Once you’ve fully healed, a process that can take as little as a few months, your jaw should be ready to receive implants or another dental restoration.
Ease Anxiety With Sedation
Our dentists may numb your mouth with local anesthesia before your procedure. But because a bone graft procedure is longer and more complex than many other dental procedures, you may also choose to receive dental sedation.
We offer three choices: inhaled sedation (“laughing gas”), which is administered through a small mask over your nose, a sedative that you take orally, or a combination of medications that are delivered through an IV. No matter which one you choose, you’ll be monitored throughout your procedure.

Common Questions About Bone Grafts
Bone loss is a consequence of tooth loss since the tooth is no longer there to stimulate the bone underneath it. A bone graft strengthens the jawbone where teeth are missing. We insert bone material in the tooth socket and cover it to protect the area. Over time, the material will become part of the bone as it stimulates new growth. Because the bone is stronger, a patient can become a candidate for dental implants.
Bone grafts are only necessary if your jawbone is lacking sufficient strength or depth to support dental implants. If it is, we can determine whether a bone graft will strengthen your bone and get it ready for implants. Bone grafts could make you a good candidate for dental implants if you’ve been told that implants weren’t a possibility for you.
Our team administers a local anaesthetic before performing bone grafts to numb the area and block pain. Advanced technology can also help make procedures more precise. We can administer sedation to help patients relax while we’re taking care of the necessary work.
