Bone Grafting

WHY BONE GRAFTING?

Rebuild the Bone That Supports Your Smile

Gum disease, tooth loss and infection can wear away the jawbone that holds your teeth. Bone grafting rebuilds this lost bone, giving your teeth stronger support and creating a solid base if you need a dental implant.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect

Bone grafting is a carefully planned procedure done under local anaesthesia by our experienced dental team.

1

Assessment & Scans

X-rays or a 3D scan show us exactly how much bone has been lost.

2

Numbing & Access

Local anaesthesia keeps you comfortable while the area is gently opened and cleaned.

3

Bone Grafting

Graft material is placed where bone is missing and usually covered with a protective membrane.

4

Healing & Review

Over the coming months your own bone grows into the graft, and we review your progress.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Who Should Consider Bone Grafting?

  • Bone loss around teeth caused by gum disease
  • Loose or shifting teeth that need stronger support

  • A tooth extraction where the bone needs to be preserved

GOOD TO KNOW

Who May Need to Wait First?

  • People with active gum disease or infection, which must be treated first
  • Smokers, since smoking slows healing and can reduce graft success
  • Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, until their condition is under control
  • Those on certain bone-related medicines or who have had head and neck radiation, who need a medical review first

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about bone grafting.

The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some swelling and tenderness afterwards is normal and can be managed with the medication we advise.

It can be your own bone, donor bone or a synthetic bone substitute. We will explain which option suits your case best.

Most bone grafts take about one to two hours, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Most people feel comfortable within a week or two. The graft itself takes several months to fully merge with your natural bone.

If the graft is meant to prepare for an implant, this is usually placed after a few months of healing. Your dentist will confirm the timing using X-rays or a scan.

Stick to soft, cool or lukewarm foods for the first week and avoid chewing directly on the treated area.
