A bone graft may be needed if you’ve experienced bone loss from gum disease, injury, or missing teeth. It’s also recommended when your jawbone isn’t strong enough to support a dental implant, ensuring the stability and long-term success of the restoration.

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and sedation is available for added comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the process. Any soreness afterward is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and by following aftercare instructions.

Bone grafts can use natural bone from another area of your body, processed donor bone, or synthetic materials. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your needs, health, and treatment plan.
