Bone Grafting
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure that helps rebuild or restore bone in your jaw where it’s been lost. It’s often needed before placing a dental implant or after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury.
Without enough bone, implants won’t hold securely. Bone grafting creates a strong, stable foundation—so your future treatments last longer and feel natural.
When is Bone Grafting Needed?
- A missing tooth has led to bone loss over time
- You're planning to get a dental implant but don’t have enough bone
- You’ve had gum disease or an injury that damaged jawbone
- You want to prevent further deterioration after an extraction
What to Expect During and After
- Procedure Time: Usually takes 30–60 minutes
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia ensures you're comfortable
- Downtime: Mild swelling or soreness for 2–3 days
- Recovery: Most people return to normal activity within a day or two
We’ll guide you with aftercare, diet tips, and check-ins to ensure everything heals well.

How the Process Works
Assessment & Imaging
We’ll take a 3D X-ray (CBCT) to evaluate bone levels and plan precisely.
Grafting Procedure
The bone material—either natural or synthetic—is gently placed in the needed area.
Healing & Integration
Over the next few months, your natural bone fuses with the graft, creating a strong foundation.
Next Steps (like implants)
Once healing is complete, we proceed with the next phase of your treatment like implant placement.
