What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a dental procedure used to rebuild or strengthen the jawbone when it isn’t dense or thick enough to support dental implants. Over time, the jawbone can shrink or weaken due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, making it difficult to place implants securely.
During bone grafting, a small amount of bone material is added to the weakened area of your jaw. As it heals, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a stronger, more stable foundation for future dental implants.
How Is Bone Grafting Done?
A simple process to rebuild and strengthen your jaw.
Consultation & Planning
Your dentist begins with a detailed examination, using X-rays or 3D scans to measure the amount of bone you currently have. This step is important to understand where support is needed most and to design a treatment plan that matches your unique needs.
Comfort & Preparation
Before the procedure starts, the area is numbed with local anaesthesia so you won’t feel pain. For patients who feel nervous, sedation options may also be available. Once you’re comfortable, the gum tissue is gently opened to give access to the jawbone.
Placing the Graft
The dentist carefully adds bone grafting material into the area of the jaw that needs rebuilding. This material may come from your own bone, a donor source, or safe synthetic alternatives. The goal is to create a strong foundation that your natural bone can grow into.
Protecting & Healing
To keep the graft secure, a protective covering or membrane may be placed before the gum is stitched closed. Over the next several months, your jawbone naturally fuses with the graft, creating new, healthy bone tissue. During this time, you’ll have check-ups to ensure everything is healing properly.
Ready for Implants
Once the graft has fully healed, usually after a few months, your jawbone will be strong enough to support dental implants. This step sets the stage for placing implants that feel stable, function like natural teeth, and provide long-lasting results.
