When you lose teeth, a lot more is missing from your daily life. While dentures can help to a degree, dental implants will help you feel like you have natural teeth again. Unfortunately, bone loss can limit your ability to get implants. To fix that, we offer bone grafts in Pasco, WA. This procedure is done to:
Implants can last the rest of your life if you have sufficient bone in your jaw to support them. Ensure your success by visiting Dental West. Call 509-588-0082 to make an appointment.
Bone loss is a common consequence of losing teeth. When you bite and chew, your tooth roots stimulate your jaw, which encourages new bone growth. Traditional dentures and bridges don’t replace the roots of your teeth. This is why bone loss can continue even with those teeth replacements. Implants replace your missing roots, but they can only sustain your jaw if you have enough bone tissue to hold them in place.
By getting a bone graft, you can rejuvenate your jawbone. That makes it a more welcoming place for implants. This gives you new teeth that are secure, stable, and strong.
Since a bone graft is a kind of oral surgery, we understand you may have some dental anxiety about this process. We want to make your treatment as comfortable as it can be. You can take advantage of:

I have had anxiety going to the dentist since I was young. I have been going to Dental West (Dr Leavens) for the past 5 years and just realized, I’m not anxious anymore. The staff is amazing, Ama always greets you with a big smile and Lin-z has always been gentle and calming during my cleanings. Best Dentist Office in TriCities.
Dr. Leavens and staff are the best! I had a double crown procedure yesterday and they made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this office for your dental work. Karen and Ama were wonderful.
I’ve never felt more at ease being at a dentist! I look forward to what the Dental West team can do for me and my teeth. Super friendly and patient staff. Highly recommend!
WOW!! I am excited that the Lord guided me to Dental West… My teeth feel brand new and, at 66 years of age, that is outstanding!!
Such a friendly and welcoming environment and staff! They work so efficiently and have resolved any problem I have had involving my dental care. I would 100% recommend Dr. Leavens and his team for anyone who is looking for a dental care provider.
The staff from the minute you walk through the door until you walk out of the door are all so friendly and make your visit enjoyable. Lindsay and the doctor were very knowledgeable and helpful with the decision plan that they came up with. I felt very comfortable in a new dentist I highly recommend visiting.
I came in with a lot of bad teeth, hadn’t been to a dentist in 25 years. The dentist office was probably my least favorite place to be so naturally I was very uneasy. Everyone there was so nice and made me feel like they were genuinely concerned. They were very helpful and knowledgeable, I didn’t have to wait long at all and never felt hurried. Dr Leavens was easy to talk to and was happy to answer all my questions. I would have no problem at all recommending them to anyone.
Dr. Leavens is a great dentist. I had an over 30 year old crown replaced on June 30, 2020. I loved walking out the office with my new crown-no second visit for a permanent crown- fully satisfied. Dr. Leavens has an amazing dexterity, great personal demeanor, and everyone on his staff are very caring, and professional. I was very impressed by all the precautions put in place regarding Covid 19, and gave me the utmost confidence and peace of mind of their virus mitigation precautionary approach. I highly recommend Dr. Leavens to anyone who is looking for a superb dental service.
I have been going to Dental West for many years and the care I receive each visit is beyond compare. Every person there goes to great lengths to make you feel comfortable and help you get past any uneasiness you may feel being in the dental chair. Dr. Leavens and his staff are top notch and I highly recommend them!
A bone graft builds up bone in your jaw after you have lost teeth. Bone loss is a consequence of losing teeth because the tooth is no longer there to stimulate the bone beneath it. We’ll put a special material in the socket and cover it to safeguard the area. Over time, it will literally become a component of your bone as it stimulates brand-new development. Because your bone is stronger, you can become a prospect for dental implants.
Bone grafts are necessary if your jawbone is lacking sufficient strength or depth to support dental implants. In these cases, we can perform a bone graft to strengthen the bone and get it ready for implants. Bone grafts can make you a good candidate for dental implants if you’ve been told that implants weren’t a possibility for you.
When done by a highly skilled dental professional such as Dr. Leavens, bone grafts are safe. Dental practitioners need training in this treatment and have to do the proper examination before recommending it. Still, it is not a complex procedure and is performed routinely at our practice. We can discuss any possible negative effects with you during the preparation stages.
