About Dental Bone Grafting

Dental bone grafting is a specialized oral surgery procedure designed to rebuild and regenerate lost jawbone tissue. This foundational treatment is essential for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, trauma, or congenital defects. The surgeon places grafting material, which can be autograft (from the patient), allograft (donor), xenograft (animal), or synthetic, into the deficient area to serve as a scaffold for new bone growth. It is most commonly performed to create a stable base for dental implant placement, ensuring long-term success and functionality. The procedure promotes oral health restoration, improves facial structure support, and is a critical step in comprehensive dental rehabilitation.

Key Highlights

    Creates a solid foundation for successful dental implant placement.Prevents further jawbone deterioration and resorption after tooth loss.Restores natural facial contours and supports lip and cheek structure.Improves overall oral health and functionality for chewing and speaking.Uses a variety of safe and proven graft materials (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic).Minimally invasive techniques are often available, promoting faster healing./ul

  • Bone resorption under a denture to improve fit and stability.
  • Sinus augmentation (sinus lift) when upper jaw bone is insufficient for implants.
