Bone Grafting for Dental Implants in Edmonton
Not everyone has enough jawbone to support dental implants right away. If bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth, gum disease, or trauma, bone grafting can rebuild the foundation needed for long-term implant success.
At Strathcona Dental Clinic, we provide bone grafting for dental implants in Edmonton using advanced diagnostics, gentle surgical techniques, and GPS-guided implant planning to ensure safe, predictable outcomes.

What Is Dental Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or strengthens the jawbone where bone has been lost. It creates a solid base so dental implants can be placed safely and securely. Bone loss can happen when:
- Teeth have been missing for a long time
- Gum disease has damaged the jawbone
- An injury or infection affected bone health
Bone grafting restores volume, density, and strength to the jaw.
Why Bone Grafting Is Important for Dental Implants
Bone grafting dramatically improves implant success, helping implants last for decades.
- Implants may not be stable
- Long-term success rates decrease
- Implant placement may not be possible
We’ll recommend the ideal schedule based on your individual needs.
Signs You May Need Bone Grafting
You may benefit from bone grafting if you:
Have been missing teeth for several years
Have been told you’re “not a candidate” for implants
Have bone loss from periodontal disease
Wear dentures and have shrinking jawbone
Experienced trauma or infection
Many patients who assume implants aren’t possible are pleasantly surprised after proper evaluation.
Types of Bone Grafting We Provide
Bone grafting is customized based on your needs and anatomy.
Common Types Include:
- Socket Preservation – placed after tooth extraction
- Ridge Augmentation – rebuilds width or height of bone
- Minor Bone Grafts – localized reinforcement for implant placement
Your dentist will explain exactly which approach is best for you.
