Bone grafting is a dental procedure used to rebuild or strengthen jawbone that has been lost due to tooth loss, infection, trauma, or gum disease. Adequate bone structure is essential for maintaining facial shape and for supporting dental implants and other restorations. The procedure begins with a thorough evaluation, including imaging, to assess bone volume and quality. During treatment, bone graft material is placed in areas of deficiency to stimulate natural bone regeneration. Over time, the graft integrates with existing bone, creating a stable foundation. Bone grafting is commonly performed in preparation for dental implants but may also be used to preserve bone after extractions. Healing occurs gradually over several months, during which new bone forms and strengthens. By restoring bone structure, bone grafting supports long-term oral function, improves implant success rates, and helps maintain facial aesthetics.
