What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild and strengthen areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. This loss is often caused by advanced gum disease, missing teeth, or trauma, and can affect both oral function and facial structure. Bone grafting helps restore the jaw, making it possible to support dental implants and prevent further deterioration.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

• Restores and strengthens jawbone structure
• Provides a stable foundation for dental implants
• Helps prevent additional bone loss
• Safe and effective for most patients
• Supports natural facial appearance
• Improves eligibility for implant treatment

What to Expect During the Procedure

Bone grafting is typically performed using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

The length of treatment can vary depending on the area being treated, the amount of bone needed, and whether additional procedures are required. Most procedures are completed within 20 to 90 minutes.
