Bone Grafting

ORAL HEALTH

Why Bone Grafting Matters

When a tooth is missing for a long time, the jawbone beneath it gradually shrinks. Bone grafting rebuilds that lost volume, creating a solid foundation for a successful, long-lasting implant.

  • Rebuild bone volume lost after tooth extraction
  • Create a stable foundation for implant placement
  • Prevent further jawbone shrinkage
  • Support natural facial structure and shape
  • Make implant treatment possible for more patients
  • Improve the long-term success rate of implants

ANATOMY

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting adds volume and density to areas of the jaw that have lost bone, using material that integrates with your body and gradually becomes part of your own bone structure.

Graft Material

Bone graft material — from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute — is placed at the site of bone loss.

Integration Period

Over several months, your body’s natural healing process fuses the graft with existing bone, creating new, solid bone tissue.

Implant-Ready Foundation

Once healed, the site provides enough bone volume and density to safely anchor a dental implant.

ADVANTAGES

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Makes Implants Possible

Restores bone in areas once considered unsuitable for implants.

Preserves Facial Structure

Helps prevent the sunken, aged appearance caused by bone loss.

Improves Implant Stability

Provides a denser, more reliable foundation for long-term implant success.

Customized to Your Needs

Different grafting techniques address different amounts and locations of bone loss.

Supports Long-Term Oral Health

Reduces the risk of future bone loss around neighboring teeth.

Often Combined with Implant Placement

In select cases, grafting and implant placement can be done in the same procedure.

EVALUATION

Are You a Candidate?

You may need bone grafting before implant treatment if you:

  • Have lost a tooth some time ago and haven’t replaced it
  • Have been told you “don’t have enough bone” for an implant
  • Have gum disease that has affected the surrounding bone
  • Are planning multiple or full-arch implants in an area with reduced bone volume
  • Are in good general health and able to heal normally

Your dentist will use 3D imaging to determine exactly how much bone grafting, if any, your case requires.

STEP-BY-STEP

Our Treatment Process

01

Consultation

3D CBCT imaging measures bone volume and density at the treatment site to determine the right grafting approach.

02

Grafting Procedure

Graft material is placed at the site under local anesthesia, using minimally invasive techniques for comfort and faster recovery.

03

Healing & Integration

Over the following months, the graft fuses with your natural bone, building a solid, implant-ready foundation.

04

Implant Placement

Once healing is complete, your implant can be placed into the newly strengthened bone for a stable, long-term result.

Aftercare Tips after bone grafting:

  • Avoid disturbing the surgical site for the first few days
  • Eat soft foods while the area heals
  • Avoid smoking, which slows healing
  • Take prescribed medication as directed
  • Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing

Most patients report only mild discomfort, similar to a tooth extraction, and it’s manageable with standard pain medication.

Healing typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the amount of bone rebuilt and your individual healing rate.

In some cases where bone loss is minor, yes. Larger grafts usually require full healing before implant placement.

It may come from your own bone, a processed donor source, or a synthetic biocompatible material — your dentist will recommend the best option for your case.

Not necessarily. Many patients have enough natural bone. Grafting is only recommended when 3D imaging shows insufficient volume or density.
