Ridge Preservation![]() The strength, or type, of bone varies from patient to patient and determines how long after grafting one must wait before placing an implant. Bone types range from Type I (hard) to Type IV (soft). We can place an implant into the developing graft site as early as ninety days in Type I bone and it may be up to twelve months of healing before implant placement for grafts in softer bone types. At Alder Family Dental, we are proud to use Newport Biologics bone replacement graft material. It is an FDA-cleared Allograft material, meaning that it comes from processed human bone banks. This type of grafting material is the most widely used today around the world and is considered the standard of care. |
