Bone Grafting Procedures

The foundation of a healthy smile includes not only your teeth and gums but also the bone that supports them. Bone grafting is a critical procedure that helps restore the bone structure in your jaw, whether due to bone loss from periodontal disease, injury, or tooth extraction.

Our compassionate team is committed to providing you with expert care to help rebuild your smile and ensure long-term oral health.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that involves placing bone material into areas of the jaw where bone has been lost or is insufficient. This material can come from your own body (autograft), from a donor (allograft), or from synthetic materials. The graft encourages natural bone regeneration and stimulates the growth of new bone to support dental implants, restore damaged areas, or treat bone loss due to gum disease.

Bone grafting is often used as a preparatory step before dental implant placement to ensure the jaw has enough bone structure to securely support the implant.

The Bone Grafting Procedure

At Generational Dentistry, we ensure that your bone grafting procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and Evaluation: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. We will take digital X-rays or a 3D scan to assess the extent of bone loss and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Preparation: If bone grafting is necessary, we will explain the process in detail and make sure you’re comfortable with the plan. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you don’t feel any discomfort during the procedure.
Placement of Bone Graft: The bone grafting material is carefully placed in the areas of bone loss. If additional materials (such as membranes or proteins) are needed to help stimulate bone growth, we will use those as well.
Healing Time: After the graft is placed, your body will begin to naturally incorporate the material into your existing bone. This process takes time—usually a few months—but is essential for creating a stable base for dental implants or restoring the natural shape of your jawbone.
Follow-Up Appointments: We’ll monitor your progress and make sure the healing process is on track. Once the graft has successfully integrated with the surrounding bone, you can move forward with other treatments, such as dental implants.
