Overview

What Is Dental Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost, so there is enough solid foundation to hold a dental implant. Grafting material is placed where the bone is thin or missing, and over the following months your body replaces it with your own new bone. It is one of the most common ways to make implants possible when bone has shrunk.

Bone is usually lost for a simple reason: once a tooth is gone, the bone that held it is no longer stimulated and begins to shrink. The longer a tooth has been missing, the more bone tends to disappear. Rather than being told there is nothing to anchor an implant to, you get the foundation rebuilt first. Pricing depends on how much bone needs to be built and is confirmed after your consultation and scan.

Why Bone Grafting Matters

The step that turns "you don't have enough bone" into a solid base for implants.
01

Makes implants possible

Grafting rebuilds bone that has shrunk away, so an implant can be placed where there was not enough support before.
02

Uses your own new bone

The graft acts as a scaffold that your body gradually replaces with living bone, giving the implant a natural foundation.
03

Planned for Your Implant Case

Grafting is performed here as part of your implant plan, rather than referred to a separate surgeon at another office.
04

Planned in 3D

A cone-beam scan maps exactly where bone is missing, so grafting material goes only where it is needed.
Process

How Bone Grafting Works

1

Consultation and 3D Scan

We take a cone-beam scan and review it with you chair-side, measuring where and how much bone is missing. This confirms whether grafting is needed and how extensive it must be.
2

Treatment Planning

The graft and any implant are planned together in three dimensions. You leave knowing whether the implant goes in at the same time or after healing, and what it costs.
3

The Graft

Grafting material is placed where bone needs to be rebuilt. Depending on your needs, health history, and procedure, sedation options may include Oral Sedation, IV Sedation, or General Anesthesia. In some cases, an implant can be placed during the same visit.
4

Healing

Over the following months your body replaces the graft with its own new bone. This is what gives the future implant a stable foundation, and it is worth the wait.
5

Implant Placement

Once the new bone has matured, implant placement can be planned based on the healed site, your scan, and the restorative goals established for your case.
COST

What Grafting Adds

Grafting is rarely something you budget for on its own. It is the groundwork that gives an implant something solid to hold.

QUOTED WITH YOUR IMPLANT PLAN

A small socket graft and a larger ridge rebuild are different pieces of work. Your figure comes from your CBCT scan, since how much bone is missing decides what is involved.

Why Choose Restore for Bone Grafting

Many practices place implants but send grafting out to a specialist, splitting your treatment across two offices and two fees. Restore does the grafting, the implant, and the final tooth in one place, with one team who planned the whole thing from your first scan. Bone loss rarely means being turned away here; it means one more step, handled under the same roof.

Bone grafting is planned around the implant site and your restorative goals, with the treatment sequence reviewed before care begins.
