Dental Bone Grafting
Dental Bone Grafting In Mississauga
St. Lawrence Dentistry performs bone grafting to help restore your jawbone to its natural form after tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting can also help preserve your facial structure after an extraction, laying an ideal foundation for future treatment, including dental implants.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
Your jawbone plays a key role in supporting your facial appearance, and many procedures, like implant placement, require the bone to be as close to its original size and shape as possible. Grafts act as a scaffold in areas of missing bone, giving your body’s natural healing process the framework it needs to rebuild healthy, functioning bone over time.

Understanding Your Grafting Options
Grafting material can come from your own body (autograft) or from a screened, processed tissue donor (allograft). While autograft bone integrates well, it requires a second surgical site. Allograft bone avoids this extra procedure, is readily available, and has an excellent, well-documented safety record in clinical studies.
Safe, Trusted Grafting Materials
St. Lawrence Dentistry uses Grafton DBM and MinerOss allograft bone, processed by Osteotech Inc., a leading supplier in the dental and orthopedic industry. All donor tissue is rigorously tested and processed under strict AATB and FDA guidelines, and conforms with Health Canada regulations.
A Simple Procedure, Lasting Benefits
Dental socket preservation using particulate bone is a straightforward treatment that helps rebuild the foundation of your smile while preserving your natural facial features.
