Bone Grafting

If you’ve lost bone due to a missing tooth, gum disease, or long‑term infection, bone grafting helps rebuild the foundation needed for strong, healthy teeth — and for successful dental implants. At Marina Klappas DDS, P.C., we perform bone grafting right here in our office to restore strength, stability, and long‑term oral health.

Bone grafting is a procedure that adds or regenerates bone in areas where it has weakened or deteriorated. We place biocompatible grafting material that encourages your body to grow new bone, creating a strong, stable base for future restorations like implants.

Bone grafting is commonly recommended when:

• A tooth has been missing for a while
• Gum disease has caused bone loss
• An infection has weakened the jawbone
• You need additional support for a dental implant

By rebuilding bone, we help prevent shifting, preserve facial structure, and ensure long‑term stability.

Bone grafting is typically completed in a single visit. We numb the area thoroughly, place the grafting material, and secure it to promote healing. Over the next few months, your body integrates the graft and forms new, healthy bone. Once healed, the area is strong enough to support an implant or other restoration.

Patients appreciate the convenience and comfort of having bone grafting performed in‑office. Dr. Klappas uses gentle techniques, clear communication, and high‑quality grafting materials to ensure predictable, long‑lasting results.

We serve patients throughout Williston Park, East Williston, Mineola, Roslyn, and the greater Long Island community seeking strong, stable foundations for implants and long‑term oral health.
