Bone Grafting FAQ
Bone loss can occur due to:
- Tooth extraction
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Infection
- Trauma or injury
- Long-term missing teeth
- Natural bone resorption over time
Bone grafting involves placing bone material into areas where the jawbone has weakened or deteriorated. The graft material stimulates natural bone growth and integrates with your existing bone over time. Bone graft material may include:
- Synthetic bone material
- Donor bone
- Your own natural bone (in certain cases)
- Socket Preservation — Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
- Ridge Augmentation — Restores bone width or height where significant bone loss has occurred.
- Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation) — Increases bone in the upper jaw near the molars when bone height is insufficient for implants.
- Evaluation & Imaging — Digital X-rays help determine bone loss and treatment planning.
- Anesthesia — Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure.
- Placement of Graft Material — The graft is carefully placed in the deficient area.
- Healing Period — The bone integrates naturally over several months.
- Restores lost jawbone
- Improves implant success rates
- Preserves facial structure
- Prevents further bone deterioration
- Supports long-term oral health
The procedure is typically well tolerated with local anesthesia. Mild swelling or discomfort may occur afterward, but this is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing.
