What is oral bone graft?

Oral bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have been damaged or weakened due to tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or long-term denture use. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone can begin to deteriorate over time, making it difficult to support a dental implant or maintain the shape and stability of the jaw. A bone graft helps restore the lost bone volume by placing new bone material — either from the patient, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute — into the affected area to encourage natural bone regeneration.

Bone grafting is often an essential first step before placing dental implants, as a strong, healthy jawbone is critical for long-term implant success. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, and most patients experience a smooth recovery with minimal discomfort. At our practice, we use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure optimal outcomes and a comfortable experience.
