What Is A Bone Graft?

A bone graft, also known as bone augmentation, is a procedure used to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone has been lost or weakened. It is commonly recommended before dental implant treatment when there is insufficient bone to support an implant securely.

 

By restoring bone volume and density, a bone graft can improve the long-term stability of dental implants and help preserve the natural shape of your jaw and facial profile.

 

If you are considering dental implants, a thorough assessment will determine whether bone augmentation is required before treatment begins.

Why Might You Need A Bone Graft Before Dental Implants?

Bone loss can occur gradually over time, particularly after tooth loss. Without the stimulation provided by a natural tooth root, the jawbone can begin to shrink.

 

Common causes of bone loss include:

 

  • Missing teeth left untreated
  • Advanced gum disease
  • Long-term denture wear
  • Facial injury or trauma
  • Tooth development abnormalities
  • Previous dental extractions
  • Natural bone deterioration over time

 

A bone graft can rebuild the affected area and create a stronger foundation for implant-supported teeth.

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

Bone grafting involves placing grafting material into the area where additional bone support is required.

 

Over time, your body integrates the graft material and develops new bone around it. This creates a stronger, more stable foundation that can support future dental implant placement.

Every patient is different, and the exact approach will depend on:

 

  • The location of the bone loss
  • The amount of bone required
  • Your overall oral health
  • Your implant treatment plan

What Is Recovery Like After A Bone Graft?

Most patients find recovery manageable and can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.

 

Following your procedure, you may experience:

 

  • Mild swelling
  • Minor tenderness
  • Temporary discomfort
  • Slight bruising in some cases

 

Healing times vary depending on the extent of treatment and individual circumstances. In many cases, several months are required for the graft to fully integrate before dental implants can be placed.

 

We provide clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery.

 

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene during healing is important. Our Dental Hygiene Service can help support long-term oral health before and after treatment.

Other Bone Augmentation Procedures

Depending on your needs, additional procedures may be recommended as part of your implant treatment plan.
