Rebuilding the Foundation Your Smile Stands On
Services provided by an Arizona licensed general dentist.
Lost a tooth? The bone underneath starts to shrink. Bone grafting restores that structure so you can still get an implant — even months or years later. Dr. Kaur makes this straightforward procedure surprisingly comfortable.

Bone Grafting Procedures
Multiple grafting techniques allow us to match the right approach to your unique anatomy and goals.
Socket Preservation Grafts
Bone graft placed immediately after extraction to prevent the jawbone from shrinking at the site.
Ridge Augmentation
Rebuilding the width or height of the jawbone ridge when it has already resorbed over time.
Sinus Lifts
Gently lifting the sinus floor and placing bone graft to create enough depth for upper jaw implants.
Guided Bone Regeneration
Using barrier membranes to direct new bone growth exactly where it's needed for optimal results.
Block Grafts
Transplanting a small block of bone from one area to another for cases requiring significant volume.
Growth Factor Therapy
Utilizing platelet-rich materials to accelerate healing and improve graft integration success rates.
The Bone Grafting Process
3D Imaging Assessment
A cone beam CT scan reveals your exact bone dimensions so Dr. Kaur can plan the graft with precision.
Graft Material Selection
We choose the best material for your case — options include human donor bone, bovine bone, or synthetic alternatives.
Surgical Placement
Under local anesthesia, the graft material is placed and a protective membrane is set over the site to guide healing.
Healing & Integration
Over 3-6 months, your body replaces the graft with strong, natural bone — then you're ready for your implant.
