Bone Grafting in Metro Detroit
Rebuilding Your Foundation
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting in Metro Detroit helps rebuild jawbone volume so your future dental work has a strong, lasting foundation. Dr. Omar Aref and Dr. Mouhamadou Seydi provide precision care for patients across the metro Detroit area. Bone grafting is a surgical approach that restores or adds bone where the jaw has thinned or resorbed over time. A carefully placed graft encourages your body to regenerate new, healthy bone. This reinforced foundation supports treatments like dental implants and helps preserve natural facial contours.

What to Expect
The Bone Grafting Procedure
Evaluation and Planning
Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation and discussion. Clear imaging and digital planning are used to measure bone levels and map the best path forward.
Graft Placement
After numbing the area, the graft is placed with careful attention to shape, stability, and site protection. A barrier or membrane may be used to shield the graft during healing, and the area is closed so it can regenerate undisturbed.
Healing and Integration
After surgery, you will receive straightforward home-care instructions, along with check-ins to track healing. Most patients return to normal routines quickly, while the graft continues to integrate over the coming weeks and months.
Next Steps
When the area is ready, next steps—such as dental implant placement—can proceed with confidence.
