Dental bone grafting is a safe and common procedure designed to rebuild jawbone structure, providing a strong foundation for long-term oral health and the success of dental implants. Bone loss can occur due to gum disease, facial injury, or trauma, and grafting restores the strength and stability needed to support future dental treatments. Our team uses advanced technology and proven techniques to make the process as effective and comfortable as possible, ensuring lasting results for your smile.

What is a dental bone graft?
Dental bone grafting is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair or replace lost bone tissue in the jaw. The process involves placing natural or synthetic grafting material, which serves as a framework for new bone to grow. Most often, this material contains processed bone minerals that encourage the body to generate healthy new bone over time.
-
Are dental bone grafts painful?
Dental bone grafting is usually done under local anesthesia to numb the area and prevent pain during the procedure. For added comfort, some patients may also be given sedatives or conscious sedation to help them relax—or even sleep—throughout the treatment.

How long does it take to recover from a dental bone graft?
Recovery from a dental bone graft varies depending on the size of the graft and your overall health, but most patients feel back to normal within a week or two. While initial healing is fairly quick, it typically takes three to six months for the new bone to fully integrate with your jaw. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery and the best long-term results.
