Bone Grafting in North Miami – Rebuilding Strong Foundation

Restore lost jawbone with Dr. Lorena Corzo’s advanced bone grafting and regeneration techniques. Create the strong foundation needed for successful dental implants and optimal oral health.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting rebuilds lost or insufficient jawbone to create the proper foundation for dental implants or restore facial support. When teeth are lost or extracted, surrounding bone naturally deteriorates. Bone grafting replaces this lost volume and stimulates new bone growth.

Dr. Corzo’s expertise in bone regeneration and guided tissue regeneration allows successful treatment of even complex bone loss cases. Her advanced periodontal training provides specialized skills needed to rebuild bone structure and create optimal conditions for long-term oral health.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

Socket Preservation

Ridge Augmentation

Rebuilds width and height of jawbone ridge when significant bone loss has occurred, preparing for implant placement.

Sinus Lift

Creates space for upper jaw implants when bone height is insufficient, with 95%+ success rate for implant placement.

Guided Bone Regeneration

Uses barrier membranes to guide new bone formation with predictable outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Grafting

How long does bone grafting take to heal?

Most bone grafts require 3-6 months for complete healing and maturation before implant placement. Simple socket preservation may heal in 3-4 months, while major reconstruction can take 6-9 months.

Is bone grafting painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort with proper pain management. Advanced techniques and medications help ensure comfortable healing.
Can dental implants be placed at the same time as bone grafting?
Yes, when sufficient initial stability can be achieved, simultaneous placement reduces total treatment time from 8-12 months to 5-8 months.
What materials are used for bone grafting?
Options include your own bone (gold standard), processed donor bone, bovine-derived materials, and synthetic bone substitutes. Dr. Corzo selects the best material for your specific needs.
Is bone grafting covered by insurance?
Often covered as a medically necessary procedure when properly documented. Dr. Corzo’s team provides pre-authorization and coordinates with implant benefits.
What factors affect bone graft success?
Non-smoking status, good oral hygiene, overall health, and following post-operative instructions significantly improve success rates.
