Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure used to add volume and density to the jawbone in areas where bone loss has occurred. This is often necessary because when a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to resorb (shrink) over time.

During the procedure, we use specialized grafting material to encourage your body to regenerate new, healthy bone. As a result, the jaw becomes strong enough to support dental implants or maintain the natural contours of your face.

Types of Bone Grafting We Offer:

• Socket Preservation: Performed immediately after an extraction to prevent bone loss.

• Ridge Augmentation: Increases the width and height of the jawbone ridge.

• Sinus Lift: Adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars to ensure enough space for implants without affecting the sinus cavity.

• Support for Implants: Provides the necessary foundation for successful dental implant placement.

• Prevents Facial Collapse: Maintaining bone density helps preserve your natural facial structure and prevents a “sunken” appearance.

• Protects Remaining Teeth: Strengthening the jawbone provides better support for neighboring natural teeth.

• Enhanced Esthetics: Restores the natural contour of the gums and jaw for a more youthful look.

• Long-Term Health: Halts the progression of bone loss caused by tooth loss or advanced gum disease.

o begin with, our team upholds the rigorous clinical standards of the RCDSO, ODA, and CDA, ensuring your surgery is safe and effective. We utilize modern technology to make the procedure as minimally invasive as possible.

Does bone grafting hurt? The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel no pain during the surgery. Most patients experience only mild soreness during the recovery phase, which can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.

How long does it take to heal? While the initial recovery takes about a week, it typically takes 3 to 6 months for the bone graft to fully integrate and strengthen enough to support a dental implant.

Where does the grafting material come from? We use high-quality, processed bone minerals (allografts or xenografts) or synthetic materials that are proven to be safe and effective at stimulating new bone growth.

Will my insurance cover bone grafting? Many insurance plans cover bone grafting, especially when it is medically necessary for an extraction or implant. We can help you navigate your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment.

Don’t let bone loss prevent you from having the healthy, functional smile you deserve. Whether you are planning for implants or looking to preserve your jaw health, the team at MiNa Family Dentistry is here to help.
