Grafting procedures are done to restore your tissues to as close to their previous form following tooth loss, gum disease or trauma.

Many procedures, such as dental implant placement, require the bone and gum tissues be as close to its original dimension and position as possible for optimal results. Dr. Tin Le at Northwest Implant Center utilizes recent advances in medicine, state-of-the-art technology, and minimally invasive techniques to allow patients to undergo grafting procedures and experience quick recovery without complications.

The Process of Bone Grafting

1. Discuss your options in-depth with you before surgery takes place to ensure you’re receiving the appropriate type of treatment for your needs.

2. Given a local anesthetic to reduce pain while the procedure is taking place and can opt for intravenous sedation if you need it.

3. Once the procedure is completed, you will be provided with antibiotics + medication for pain if required. You should be able to carry on with your day-to-day life as normal while the graft is healing.
