What is Bone Grafting?

Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to the jaw to increase bone volume and density. It is commonly performed before dental implant placement when there is insufficient bone, after tooth extraction to preserve the socket, or to repair bone loss from periodontal disease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Grafting

Is bone grafting painful?
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is mild to moderate for 3–5 days, managed with prescribed medication.
Where does the bone graft material come from?
Bone graft material can be autogenous (from your own body), allograft (human donor), xenograft (bovine), or synthetic. Your dentist will recommend the best option for your case.
How long after bone grafting can I get an implant?
Typically 3–6 months, depending on the graft size and healing. Some cases allow simultaneous implant placement with the bone graft.
