What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or augments areas of the jawbone that have been lost due to tooth extraction, gum disease, injury, or natural bone resorption over time. During this procedure, bone material is placed in areas where your natural bone has deteriorated, creating a strong foundation for dental implants or helping preserve your facial structure.

The goal is to stimulate new bone growth and restore adequate bone volume and density. Bone grafting significantly increases implant success rates and helps maintain the structural integrity of your jaw, preventing the sunken facial appearance that can occur with bone loss.

When is Bone Grafting Necessary?

Dr. Messih may recommend bone grafting services when evaluation reveals bone loss that could affect your oral health or treatment options:

  • Tooth Extraction Sites: Preventing bone loss immediately after tooth removal
  • Dental Implant Preparation: Creating adequate bone volume for implant placement
  • Periodontal Disease: Rebuilding bone destroyed by advanced gum disease
  • Trauma or Injury: Restoring bone lost due to accidents or facial injuries
  • Natural Bone Resorption: Addressing bone loss that occurs over time with missing teeth
  • Sinus Issues: Building bone in upper jaw areas affected by sinus proximity
  • Congenital Defects: Correcting developmental bone irregularities

Through advanced imaging and careful evaluation, we determine the best approach for your specific situation, ensuring affordable options that provide long-term benefits for your oral health.

Each implant type offers unique advantages, and Dr. Messih will recommend the best option based on your oral health, bone density, lifestyle, and treatment goals during your consultation.

Socket preservation is performed immediately after tooth extraction to maintain bone structure:

  • Future Implant Success: Creates optimal conditions for later implant placement
  • Faster Healing: Promotes proper tissue regeneration and recovery

Ridge augmentation builds up areas where significant bone has been lost over time:

  • Width Restoration: Rebuilds bone that has resorbed horizontally
  • Height Enhancement: Addresses vertical bone loss in the jaw
  • Guided Bone Regeneration: Uses specialized membranes to direct new bone growth
  • Comprehensive Reconstruction: Multiple techniques combined for optimal results

When placing implants in the upper back jaw, sinus bone grafting may be necessary:

  • Sinus Lift Procedures: Creates space for bone material below the sinus cavity
  • Lateral Window Technique: For cases requiring significant bone augmentation
