Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have experienced bone loss. Bone loss can occur due to missing teeth, gum disease, trauma, or long-term infection. Adequate bone support is essential for maintaining oral health and stability. Bone grafting helps rebuild the jaw and protect surrounding teeth. This treatment often prepares the mouth for future restorative options. Bone grafting supports long-term oral function and structure.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a dental procedure that adds bone material to areas of the jaw where bone has deteriorated or weakened. When teeth are lost, the jawbone no longer receives stimulation and can begin to shrink over time. Bone grafting places biocompatible material in the affected area to encourage natural bone regeneration. Over time, the graft integrates with existing bone, increasing strength and volume. This creates a more stable foundation for teeth and restorations. Bone grafting helps restore the natural structure of the jaw.
Bone grafting may be recommended as a standalone procedure or as part of a larger treatment plan. It is commonly used to prepare for dental implants but can also help preserve facial structure and bite alignment. Different grafting materials may be used depending on the patient’s needs. Healing time allows the body to regenerate new bone around the graft. Proper planning ensures predictable and lasting results. This procedure supports both function and aesthetics.
