“Is bone grafting necessary for getting a dental implant?”

If you want an implant, then a cone-beam 3-d X-ray should be taken to assess the amount and location of available bone. If there is enough bone no grafting is needed. If not enough bone then grafting will be needed. Make sure you get a ceramic implant as the metal titanium implants are much less biocompatible. If you want more guidance: Drrouff@gnail.com.

It depends on your body.  If you do not have enough foundational bone, you will need to add bone to the area, via a bone graft, prior to placing an implant in.  If you had a tooth extracted years ago, often the body removes the mineral content of your unused supporting bone for other areas the body needs support, hence you lose bone once a tooth is removed, which then leads to a bone graft.

If you are already missing teeth and you have sufficient height, thickness and quality of bone present in the surgical site, then no bone grafting is necessary. If you are having a tooth extracted and having an implant placed afterwards, unless the implant can be placed immediately after the tooth is extracted, it is wise to place a bone graft in the extraction site. The graft helps maintain the height, width and thickness of the bone as it heals, in preparation for placing the implant(s).
