Strengthen Your Smile With a Bone Graft
We have extensive experience in bone grafting procedures. Our skilled dentist will use advanced imaging technology like a 3-D cone beam CT scanner to plan your treatment precisely, ensuring the best possible outcome. Our bone grafting process typically involves these steps:
- Preparing the graft site
- Placing the bone graft material
- Securing the graft with special membranes
- Closing the site to allow healing
Our team wants your bone graft procedure to be as comfortable as possible. We offer oral conscious sedation to help you relax during treatment. This safe, FDA-approved medication will keep you calm and at ease throughout the process. To enhance your comfort, we also provide soft pillows for extra support, cozy blankets to keep you warm, and headphones for listening to music or podcasts.
After the procedure, we’ll give you detailed instructions for a smooth recovery. It may take several months for the graft to fully integrate with your existing bone. During this time, your dentist will monitor your progress closely. Once healed, your jawbone will be stronger and ready for the next step in your dental treatment, whether that’s implant placement or another procedure.

Common Questions About Bone Grafts
A bone graft is basically filling in or building up a thin or weak jawbone. A bone graft can fill space left after an extraction, or we can use it to boost the strength of a jawbone battling an infection brought on by gum disease. Your dentist will simply place material along your bone that will encourage new bone growth. While the procedure itself is quick, it will take several months for your bone to respond and heal.
Bone grafts are necessary if your jawbone is lacking sufficient strength or depth to support dental implants. In these cases, we can perform a bone graft to strengthen the bone and get it ready for implants. Bone grafts can make you a good candidate for dental implants if you’ve been told that implants weren’t a possibility for you.
A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate, so you won’t lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.
