Bone
Grafting.
Restoring Jawbone Volume
Rebuild
the Foundation.
Tooth loss, gum disease, or injury can weaken your jawbone. Bone grafting adds new bone material to areas of the jaw experiencing loss — regenerating volume and creating a stable foundation for dental implants or preserving the natural contour of your jaw.
Over several months, the graft material integrates with your existing bone through a natural healing process, restoring both function and facial aesthetics.
Why Bone Is Lost
Common Causes
of Bone Loss.
Gum disease — periodontal disease leads to bone loss around the teeth
Tooth loss — extraction causes the jawbone to resorb over time
Injury or trauma — accidents can create significant bone loss
Congenital defects — some patients are born with insufficient bone
Graft Materials
Four Types of
Graft Material.
Autograft
Bone taken from another area of your own body — the gold standard for integration.
Allograft
Donor bone from a tissue bank, processed and sterilised for safe use.
Xenograft
Bone material derived from animal sources (typically bovine), widely used and effective.
Synthetic
Lab-created bone substitute that stimulates your body's own bone growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal in the days after and are manageable with prescribed medication.
How long is the recovery?
Initial healing takes a few weeks, but full bone integration can take several months before implant placement.
Are there risks?
As with any surgical procedure, there are small risks of infection or graft failure. Our team minimises these through sterile technique and careful post-operative monitoring.
Is bone grafting covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. When grafting is performed to prepare for implants or treat gum disease, some insurers may cover a portion. We help you understand your benefits.
