What is Dental Bone Graft?

Dental Bone Graft is a surgical procedure performed to fill the missing bone or teeth gap with bone from your own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. The procedure is to help prevent the jaw from sinking without the support of bone.

Bone grafting has the ability to repair dental implant sites that are having insufficient bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries.
After tooth extraction, in the case where the walls of your socket are very thin, bone is not possible to be filled naturally for the healing; in this situation, a bone graft is often placed to help your body fill the empty socket with bone. This is also a preparation done for the dental implant to be performed several months later.

If your tooth was removed many years ago and your bony ridge is extremely thin, there may be insufficient bone to handle dental implant placement; in this case, a bone graft can be placed next to the thin bone and allow to heal for up to 6 months before placing the implant.

How It Works

The type of bone that is usually on heavy-duty is alveolar bone; its role is to hold and support your teeth. This bone and jawbone strengthen every time you chew; when you undergo a tooth extraction, the bone for that area starts to not have a purpose and this can lead to bone loss and thus result in loss of jawbone as well.

Dental Bone Graft procedure works as the bone tissue has the ability to completely regenerate and restore within the space provided for it to grow. It is a painless treatment required in the case where you do not have a sufficient amount of healthy bones to support dental implants.

At our affiliated clinic, a tomography is required to be done to determine the amount of bone graft needed. The bone graft usually varies between 0.5 to 2gms.

2. Placement of a new piece of bone obtained from your body or an artificial filler onto the empty space
