What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone material to your jaw. When bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, it is often necessary to support dental implants or enhance the stability of existing teeth.
-
How does a dental bone graft work?
A small incision is made in the gum to access the bone during the procedure. The graft material, which can be taken from your own body, a donor, or a synthetic source, is then placed in the area needing augmentation. Over time, this material fuses with the existing bone, creating a solid foundation.

How long does a dental bone graft take to heal?
The healing process for a dental bone graft can vary but typically takes several months. During this time, the new bone integrates with the existing bone. Follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor the healing process and ensure the graft is successful.
