What Is
Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a process where bone material is transplanted to the jaw in order to rebuild bone mass. It is often used as a way to prepare for dental implants, which require a certain amount of bone in order to be placed successfully and remain stable. Bone grafting can also help patients who are experiencing bone loss due to periodontal disease, which can eat away at the jaw over time. In many patients, this can result in teeth that are becoming loose or even falling out! This simple procedure can be the start to rebuilding or protecting your smile for years to come.

What Is the Bone Grafting Treatment Like?

While the name of the procedure can sound intimidating, the actual process is quite comfortable and straightforward. Bone grafting is a simple outpatient procedure that can be performed in our office. First, Dr. Modi will numb the area with local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. He will then make a small incision in the gums and place the bone material where it is needed. This material can come from a range of sources, serving as the way to initiate your bone rebuilding process. As your body responds to the procedure, it will gradually build bone around and over the grafting material through its natural processes. Depending on your situation, the entire procedure can take only about half an hour, though it may take longer for some patients.

How Long Until I See Results?

Bone grafting is a gradual process that relies on your body’s own natural mechanisms. Your body will need time to heal and rebuild bone in the affected area, gradually strengthening your jaw and getting it ready for your next procedure. However, most patients begin to see results in as little as three to six months. Dr. Modi will provide you with an expected timeline based on your situation and target results.

If you are getting bone grafting to rebuild bone mass after periodontal disease, it will also remain vital to care for your oral health. Having healthy dental routines and regular checkups can help you keep decay from affecting your gums or jaw in the future.

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
