If there is not enough bone tissue in your jaws for inserting a dental implant, you need bone grafting. In some cases, the bone graft procedure might be able to be done at the same time as the implant surgery.
60-90 mins
Sometimes there is not enough bone material in your jaw to have a dental implant, and in these cases a bone graft is necessary. After losing a tooth the alveolus disintegrates slowly over time, and the bone density of the jaw drops dramatically, and if you want to replace the tooth, you will have to bone graft. This is an invasive but necessary surgery and requires an X-ray and a preliminary hygiene session.
If there is not enough bone density in your jawbone to house a dental implant, then you need a bone graft. Certain conditions, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and other illnesses, directly affect the bone density of the jaw, but having a tooth absent for an extended period of time will also result in the decay and disintegration of the jawbone.
The bone grafting process is simple and easy, but with a healing time that can last for up to six months. The bone graft surgery will take between 30 minutes and one hour, and is an invasive surgery in which your gums will be opened and the bone grafting material, along with the dental implant will be inserted into the jawbone. This surgery is done consciously, under anesthesia. The area will be sewn shut and the bone grafting material allowed to fuse with the cells of your jawbone.
At Forest and Ray we use 100% synthetic bone grafting materials that imitate real bone cells accurately. This is the most hygienic, safe, and easiest way to replace the bone materials, and can be had by any person of any religion, dietary restriction, or belief and is 100% hypoallergenic. The bone graft material is one hundred percent synthetic bone imitation and is also hypoallergenic, so even those with severe allergies can get them. When getting a bone graft, it is important to follow pre and post-operative instructions to the letter to avoid infections.

Our address is: 8F Gilbert Place, London, WC1A 2JD. About Camden: Lincoln's Inn Fields is a neighbourhood in the extreme south of the borough that is only 500 metres from the Thames. The northern part of the borough is home to Kentish Town, Hampstead, and Hampstead Heath, which are less populous districts. Numerous parks and open areas may be found in the London Borough of Camden. City of Westminster (near Soho, London) and the City of London are the next-door boroughs, followed by Brent to the west of what was once Roman Watling Street (now the A5 Road), Barnet and Haringey to the north, and Islington to the east. It encompasses all or a portion of the following postcode areas: N1, N6, N7, N19, NW1, NW2, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, EC1, WC1, WC2, W1, and W9.
The borough of Camden also includes Bloomsbury, known for its garden squares. To the west, the fashionable district of Marylebone is rich in shops and restaurants, while the prestigious Mayfair extends slightly into Camden. Covent Garden, famed for its entertainment and market, adds to Camden's vibrancy. Bordering the east of the borough are Clerkenwell and Farringdon, hubs for the design industry and renowned for their mix of old and new architecture. Although Lambeth and South Bank are located south of the Thames and not within Camden, they contribute to the broader cultural scene that Camden residents can easily access. To the east of Camden, beyond Islington, lies the diverse and bustling borough of Hackney, which provides a distinct cultural blend of its own.
