What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting, sometimes called surgical regeneration, rebuilds areas of the jaw that have lost density or volume, creating a strong foundation for future treatments like dental implants.
How does it work?
Your dentist places grafting material into the area of bone loss, which encourages your body to regenerate new, healthy bone over the following months, strengthening the site before further treatment.

FAQS
Why would I need a bone graft?
Bone loss often occurs after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. If you're considering an implant but don't have enough bone to support it, a graft can rebuild the area first.
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during it. Some swelling and mild discomfort afterward is normal and manageable with medication.
How long does it take to heal from a bone graft?
Healing typically takes a few months before the site is ready for further treatment like an implant, though this varies depending on the size of the graft.
What material is used for bone grafting?
Several types of grafting material are available, including your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic options. Your dentist will recommend the best choice based on your specific situation.
