What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting helps restore areas of the jaw where bone has been lost over time. This type of bone loss commonly happens after tooth extractions, advanced gum disease, or long periods without natural tooth roots stimulating the jawbone. As bone volume decreases, it can affect oral stability, facial support, and future dental treatment options.

The jawbone plays a critical role beyond holding teeth in place. It supports bite function, facial structure, and overall oral balance. When bone loss progresses, surrounding teeth may become less stable and restorative planning can become more limited. Supporting the jaw early helps protect the foundation of long term oral health.

At The Dental Method in Dallas, TX, bone grafting is viewed as a way to preserve the natural structure of the jaw and keep future care options open. Interestingly, the jawbone is one of the few bones in the body that naturally shrinks when it is no longer stimulated, which is why maintaining bone support matters over time.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Find out why bone grafting is essential for patients preparing for strong, long-lasting implant results.

  • Restored Bone Volume

    Grafting rebuilds bone structure lost from disease or extractions.

  • Improved Implant Support

    Added bone creates a stable foundation for implants long term.

  • Enhanced Structural Planning

    Bone regeneration allows more predictable restorative outcomes.

Who Needs Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is needed when jawbone volume has diminished due to long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, or previous extractions. Insufficient bone can limit restorative options, particularly implant placement. Patients undergoing implant planning may require bone grafting to rebuild a stable foundation.

This procedure supports future treatment by restoring bone structure over time. Healing progress is monitored to confirm successful bone regeneration before implant placement.

Advanced Bone Grafting Technology

Bone grafting technology focuses on rebuilding areas of the jaw where bone has weakened or diminished over time. At The Dental Method, imaging technology is used to measure bone density and identify where additional support is needed before implant placement. Grafting materials are placed strategically to encourage the body’s natural bone regeneration process.

Over time, this material integrates with existing bone, creating a stronger and more stable foundation. This technology-driven approach allows future restorations to be planned with confidence, even in areas where bone loss was previously a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Bone grafting may be completed before implant placement or at the same appointment, depending on bone condition and treatment goals. Timing is determined through imaging and evaluation.

  • Healing typically takes several months as new bone forms and integrates. The timeline varies based on graft size, location, and the body’s natural healing response.

  • Bone grafts may use natural bone material, synthetic substitutes, or a combination designed to support regeneration. The material acts as a scaffold for new bone growth.

  • In some cases, implants can be placed at the same time. In others, grafting must heal fully first. Imaging helps determine the safest approach.

  • If healing is incomplete, additional time or treatment may be required before proceeding. Monitoring ensures the area becomes stable enough for future restoration.
