Rebuild Your Jawbone for Future Implants
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jaw where bone has been lost due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease or injury. This loss can compromise the stability of your teeth and prevent the placement of dental implants. Bone grafting replaces or stimulates new bone growth, restoring the structural integrity of your jaw and creating an ideal foundation for future treatments, most commonly implants.
Recovery Time
Depending on the complexity, healing time can range from three to six months.

Process of Dental Bone Grafting
1
Evaluation and Imaging: The process starts with a comprehensive dental exam, including X-rays or a 3D scan to assess bone loss.
2
Treatment Planning: Based on the location and extent of bone loss, your dentist will recommend treatment and outline the procedure timeline.
3
Anesthesia and Preparation: The treatment area is numbed, cleaned and prepared for the graft.
4
Placing the Bone Graft: The graft material is placed into the area with bone loss.
5
Healing and Integration: Over the next few months, your body naturally integrates the graft, forming strong, new bone in its place. This process typically takes 3–6 months.
6
Follow-up and Next Steps: Your dentist will monitor healing with periodic visits. Once the graft has fully integrated, you’ll be cleared to proceed with implants.
