What Is Bone Grafting?

What Is
Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a common dental procedure that restores or builds up bone in the jaw. Suppose you’ve lost bone due to an extracted tooth, trauma, or periodontal disease. In that case, a graft can help regenerate that area so it can support a dental implant, or simply prevent further deterioration.

 

Think of it like reinforcing a home’s foundation before adding new structure. The jawbone is what keeps your smile stable and supports your facial features. When bone begins to shrink or weaken, grafting gives your body the boost it needs to heal and rebuild. It’s safe, effective, and often more straightforward than people expect. Our team is here to ensure the experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Different Types of Dental Bone Grafts

Different Types of
Dental Bone Grafts

There are several types of bone grafts, and the one that’s right for you depends on your individual needs and goals:

  • Socket Preservation Graft
    Placed immediately after a tooth extraction to preserve the shape and strength of the jawbone in that area.
  • Ridge Augmentation
    Used when the jaw has lost width or height due to long-term tooth loss. It builds up the ridge to prepare for an implant.
  • Sinus Lift
    A specialized grafting technique for the upper back jaw, where bone height is limited and close to the sinus cavity.
  • Periodontal Bone Graft
    Focuses on rebuilding bone lost to gum disease, helping stabilize teeth and prevent further tooth loss.

 

Regardless of the type, bone grafting is always tailored to your specific health, anatomy, and treatment goals.

Have Questions?
We've Got Answers!

Most patients report minimal discomfort, similar to that of a tooth extraction. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options for a relaxing experience.

That’s the goal! Bone grafting is often the first step in preparing your jaw for a secure, long-lasting implant.

Healing typically takes 3-6 months, depending on the size and location of the graft. During this time, your body naturally builds new bone.

Absolutely. We use biocompatible materials, often sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials—all of which have been proven to stimulate bone growth safely and effectively.
