What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a dental procedure that replaces missing or weakened bone in the jaw with healthy bone material. Over time, this graft stimulates your body to grow new bone, restoring the natural volume and strength needed for long-term oral health.

Why Do You Need a Bone Graft?

When a tooth is lost or extracted and not replaced promptly, the surrounding jawbone can begin to shrink. This process is called bone resorption, and it can lead to:

Collapsed facial structure or a “sunken” look
Difficulty supporting dental implants
Shifting or loosening of nearby teeth
Increased risk of gum disease and infection

Bone grafting is used to rebuild this lost bone, ensuring a stable foundation for your teeth and future restorations.

Indications for Bone Grafting

You may need a bone graft if you have:

Bone loss in the jaw due to missing teeth or periodontal disease
Preparation for dental implants when bone volume is insufficient
Tooth extractions, especially in preparation for implants later
Facial trauma or injury resulting in bone defects
Developmental defects or congenital conditions affecting the jaw

Types of Bone Grafts We Offer

Socket Preservation – Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
Ridge Augmentation – Restores lost bone along the jaw ridge for implants or aesthetics.
Autografts, allografts, or synthetic grafts – Depending on your needs, we’ll choose the best type of graft material.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Bone grafting is typically a straightforward in-office procedure. After local anesthesia or sedation, your dentist will place the graft material in the area of bone loss. The site is then secured and allowed to heal over several months as new bone naturally integrates.

At Tri-County Dental Arts, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure comfort, precision, and long-term success.
