Bone Grafting

PRECISION WAY

SUPPORT YOUR SMILE FROM THE FOUNDATION UP

Bone grafting helps restore the foundation of your jaw, helping provide a strong foundation that may support future implant placement.
If you’ve lost bone due to extractions, gum disease, or injuries, modern techniques may support bone regeneration in areas of need—returning both function and aesthetics to your smile.

Why Do I Need Bone Grafting?

• Bone grafting replaces or rebuilds jawbone lost to tooth extractions, disease, or trauma.

• Key Benefits

• It may help prepare a stable foundation for implants and support facial contours.

1. Localized Bone Grafting

• Ideal for smaller defects or recent extractions (ridge preservation).
• Often uses donor bone (allograft) or a small sample from the patient’s own mouth.
• Wait time: Typically 4–6 months before implant placement.
2. Sinus Lift Procedure

When It’s Needed
• If the upper jaw (maxilla) lacks enough bone height below the sinus.

What Happens
• The sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed to create space for implants.

Timing
• Implants can sometimes be placed simultaneously,
or after several months of healing if significant grafting is required.
3. Bone Graft Materials

Autograft (Your Own Bone)
• Autografts—using your own bone—are a commonly used approach in appropriate cases.

Allograft (Donated Bone)
• Allografts are processed to meet clinical use standards and are widely used in dental grafting procedures.

Synthetic Materials
• Can stimulate bone growth.
4. What to Expect (Timeline)

Visit 1: Bone Graft Procedure
• Ridge preservation preservation, sinus lift, or ridge expansion.

Healing Period
• 4–6 months or longer.

Visit 2: Implant Placement
• Another healing period of 3–6 months.

Final Restoration
• Crown, bridge, or denture placed by your restorative dentist.
5. Potential Risks & Aftercare

Risks
• Swelling, minor bleeding, or infection are possible but relatively rare
when post-op instructions are followed.

Aftercare
• Follow a soft diet initially.
• Take prescribed medications and keep the area clean.
• Regular check-ups ensure proper healing before moving to the implant prosthetic.
