Successful dental implant treatment begins with a strong, stable foundation. At Sculpt Center for Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Fadi Hasan, a board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon, specializes in advanced bone grafting procedures that rebuild and strengthen the jawbone before implant placement.
Whether you have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth or have been told you are not a candidate for implants, Dr. Hasan can often restore the necessary support to make treatment possible.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone naturally begins to deteriorate over time. Without sufficient bone density, dental implants cannot integrate properly or remain stable. Bone grafting rebuilds these areas, creating the secure foundation your implants need to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dr. Hasan uses precise digital imaging and microsurgical techniques to ensure optimal graft placement and long-term success. His expertise allows patients to receive highly predictable results with minimal discomfort.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures
Dr. Hasan offers several grafting techniques to meet each patient’s specific needs:
Socket or Site Preservation
Performed immediately after tooth extraction, this procedure preserves existing bone, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and prepares the site for a future implant.
Ridge Augmentation
When bone width or volume has been lost, ridge augmentation rebuilds the shape of the jaw, restoring its natural contour and strength for long-term implant success.
Sinus Lift
When bone loss occurs in the upper jaw, the sinus can drop into the space once occupied by teeth. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and adds bone grafting material to support secure implant placement.
Each procedure is planned using 3D technology to ensure precision, stability, and comfort throughout the process.

Bone Grafting FAQs
-
Why Would I Need a Bone Graft?
You might need a bone graft if you’ve lost teeth and your jawbone has started to weaken or shrink because of it. This process helps create a solid foundation for dental implants, making your jaw strong enough to hold them securely.
-
If I Don’t Want Dental Implants, Do I Still Need Bone Grafting?
Even if you’re not considering dental implants right now, bone grafting might still be beneficial. It can help preserve the shape and strength of your jaw, which is important for your overall oral health and the support of your remaining teeth. Additionally, maintaining a healthy jawbone can help with the fit and comfort of dentures if you choose them later.
-
How Do I Know If I Am a Good Candidate for Bone Regeneration?
We always recommend coming in for a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Hasan. His technology can precisely measure your jawbone density, helping you determine if a bone graft in McLean is necessary.
-
Will My Bone Grafting Procedure Hurt?
Dr. Hasan is always mindful of his patients’ comfort. During your surgery, Dr. Hasan can administer sedation to alleviate pain and ease any feelings of anxiety. Dr. Hasan is trained and licensed to provide IV sedation, a form of sedation that induces a sense of deep relaxation and can be adjusted to meet your needs throughout your procedure. We prefer IV sedation because it’s considered to be safer and has a faster recovery time than general anesthesia.
-
What’s the Recovery Like for Bone Grafting?
It typically takes patients about a week to recover after their bone grafting procedure, but it can take up to a full year for the site to heal completely. While you can expect some discomfort for a few days after your surgery, it can be managed with pain medication. As you recover, you’ll have access to Dr. Hasan if any questions or concerns arise.
