Rebuild Lost Jawbone And Move Forward With Dental Implants
Bone loss can make dental implants feel out of reach and reduce the long-term stability of your smile. Bone regeneration rebuilds the areas of the jaw that have weakened over time so you can move forward with a strong foundation for tooth replacement. This may include bone grafting, sinus lifts, or ridge augmentation depending on your needs.
If you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate for implants, our doctors can help. Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, and Dr. Marshall use advanced bone regeneration techniques when additional support is needed. By restoring the underlying structure first, they help create the stability required for long-lasting, predictable dental implant results.

When there isn’t enough bone to support an implant, treatment may not move forward safely. Regenerative care rebuilds that missing support so you can become a candidate for long-term tooth replacement again.
Your jawbone plays a key role in how your face looks and how your bite functions. By rebuilding lost bone we help you maintain the natural facial support while also protecting the long-term balance of your smile.
A strong foundation changes everything about how dental implants perform. When the bone is rebuilt first, implants are designed to function comfortably, reliably, and with long-term stability in mind.
Bone naturally shrinks when teeth are missing. Without stimulation from tooth roots, the jaw gradually loses density and volume.
Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, and Dr. Marshall use advanced grafting materials to stimulate new bone growth. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone and becomes part of your jaw.
Bone grafting rebuilds areas affected by tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, allowing future implants to be placed securely.
A sinus lift adds bone beneath the sinus cavity, creating the depth needed for stable implant placement in the upper jaw.
Ridge augmentation restores the width and shape of the jaw so implants can be positioned for long-term success.
Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, and Dr. Marshall begin with detailed 3D scans that reveal your bone levels, sinus position, and the exact areas that need support. This allows them to understand your anatomy in detail and create a plan that is tailored specifically to you before treatment begins.
Once the plan is in place, your doctor places bone grafting material precisely where reinforcement is needed. Depending on your case, this may include bone grafting, a sinus lift, or ridge augmentation to rebuild a stable foundation for future implants.
Over the next several months, your body naturally replaces the graft material with new, healthy bone. During this time, the foundation is becoming stronger and more capable of supporting long-term dental implants.
When healing is complete, we place implants into a fully reinforced foundation. This creates the stability needed for results that are designed to function comfortably and reliably for years to come.
Bone regeneration works best when every step is carefully coordinated from the start. That’s why Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, and Dr. Marshall use advanced 3D imaging to study your bone structure in detail before treatment begins. This allows them to precisely map where bone support is needed and design your procedure before treatment begins.
This level of planning means fewer surprises and more predictable outcomes, because the procedure is already designed before it begins.
Your care is also shaped through collaboration. Instead of a single perspective, your treatment is guided by a team with surgical and restorative experience working together to ensure every decision supports your long-term result, especially when implants are part of the plan.
Throughout the process, comfort is built in. Local anesthesia and sedation options help you stay relaxed during treatment, and recovery is supported with clear, step-by-step guidance.
Bone regeneration is the overall process of rebuilding bone. Bone grafting is the technique used to stimulate new bone growth.
Healing typically takes several months. The timeline depends on the size of the graft and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, or Dr. Marshall will monitor healing throughout the process to ensure everything is integrating properly.
Most patients report mild soreness similar to a tooth extraction. Sedation options help ensure comfort during the procedure.
Implants are usually placed after the graft has fully integrated to ensure long-term stability. In some cases, Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, or Dr. Marshall may stage treatment differently depending on how your bone responds to healing.
Bone loss does not need to limit your options. With modern regenerative dentistry, you can move forward with stable, long-term tooth replacement.
A 3D scan is the only way to accurately measure bone levels. Dr. Somers, Dr. Nick, and Dr. Marshall use this imaging to determine exactly where bone loss is present and what type of support may be needed. Many patients discover bone loss when planning for dental implants.
