Who is a good candidate for Bone Grafting?

People with thinning bone, tooth loss, gum disease, infection, or those preparing for implants often benefit from grafting. We assess your needs with imaging and a full exam.

How long does bone grafting usually take?

Most graft appointments are completed in a single visit. Healing happens gradually over several months as your body regenerates new bone.

What is recovery like?

Most people return to normal routines within a day or two. Mild soreness is common and usually well-managed with over-the-counter medication and simple home-care instructions.

Will bone grafting be needed with my implant?

Sometimes. If the bone is thin or has resorbed, a small graft helps ensure long-term implant stability. Many grafts are placed at the same appointment as the implant.

Are there alternatives?

In certain cases, options like mini dental implants or site preservation techniques may be appropriate. We'll review all safe, effective alternatives with you.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a predictable, modern way to rebuild or preserve jawbone so your long-term dental health stays strong. We use this technique to support implants, stabilize areas after tooth removal, and restore weakened bone.

Bone Grafting During Other Procedures

Bone grafting is often performed at the same appointment as an extraction or implant placement. It is a quick, minimally invasive way to preserve strength in the area.

• After extractions: a graft protects the socket and prevents collapse.

• During implants: a graft can reinforce thin bone for long-term stability.

• With wisdom teeth removal: used selectively if a defect or thin bone remains.

These small grafts typically add only a few minutes to the procedure and heal predictably.

Our process

Step-by-step approach to your treatment

We begin with a detailed exam and 3D imaging to assess your bone. If grafting is recommended, we review options and create a precise plan. During treatment, graft material is placed comfortably under local anesthesia. Over time, your body rebuilds the area naturally. We monitor healing and guide you on when future treatments—such as implants—can begin.

Technology & Approach

We use digital imaging and CBCT scans for precise planning, along with advanced grafting materials that promote predictable healing and bone regeneration.

Initial Assessment & Planning

45-60 min

We begin with a detailed exam and 3D imaging to assess your bone structure and determine the best grafting approach.

Treatment Planning & Review

15-30 min

If grafting is recommended, we review your options, explain the procedure, and create a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Graft Placement

30-60 min

Graft material is placed comfortably under local anesthesia. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically adds only a few minutes to extractions or implant placement.

Natural Healing Process

3-6 months

Over time, your body naturally rebuilds the area, integrating the graft material with your existing bone structure.

Monitoring & Follow-up

Ongoing

We monitor healing progress and guide you on when future treatments—such as implants—can begin.

If a tooth needs to be removed

When an extraction and grafting go hand-in-hand

Sometimes a bone graft is recommended immediately after a tooth extraction—especially if the tooth was infected, fractured, or has been missing structure for a while. Placing a graft at the same visit protects the area from collapsing and preserves the option for a future implant.

Concerned about bone changes after wisdom teeth?

Occasionally used after complex wisdom tooth removal

In select cases—such as deeply impacted wisdom teeth—bone grafting may be used to restore a defect or thinning area. This helps stabilize the jawbone and support long-term health.
