What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves placing bone graft material in areas where bone loss has occurred. This graft material encourages the growth of new bone tissue, which can help stabilize teeth, support dental implants, and improve overall oral health. Bone grafting may be recommended for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, tooth extraction, or other factors.

The Bone Grafting Process
Consultation and Evaluation
During your initial consultation, our dental specialist will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if bone grafting is the most appropriate treatment option for you.
Preparing for the Procedure
Before the bone grafting procedure, any necessary diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or a CBCT scan, will be taken to ensure accurate planning and treatment.
Performing the Bone Graft
During the bone grafting procedure, our dental specialist will carefully place the bone graft material in the area of bone loss. The graft material can be obtained from your body, a donor, or synthetic sources, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
Healing and Recovery
Following the bone grafting procedure, you will be provided with detailed instructions to ensure proper healing and recovery. This may include guidelines for oral hygiene, managing any post-operative discomfort, and scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Future Treatments
Once the bone graft has successfully integrated and new bone tissue has formed, you may be a candidate for additional dental treatments, such as dental implants, to restore function and aesthetics to your smile.
