Where a tooth has been missing a long time, the bone that held it has usually receded. Grafting rebuilds the foundation an implant needs.

Socket preservation
The best graft is the one placed at the moment the tooth comes out.

Filling the socket immediately preserves the ridge shape and usually avoids a larger, separate procedure later.
Sinus lift

Do you actually need one
Often not. The 3D scan measures the bone you have in three dimensions, and narrower implants or angled placement can sometimes avoid grafting altogether.
