Dental Bone Graft Procedure is performed in dentistry to increase the volume of bone in the jaw to support dental implants. It is used when an insufficient healthy natural bone is available to securely hold the implants in place. The bone grafting material can come from synthetic materials
The bone grafting material is a foundation for new bone growth, allowing the implant to be securely anchored in place. The success of dental bone grafting depends on various factors, such as the type of graft used and the patient’s overall health and healing ability. Dental bone grafting can be done as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other dental treatments, such as implant placement or jaw reconstruction.

Discover the Dental Bridge Benefits & Advantages
Dental Bone Graft Procedure is used to fill an empty tooth socket. Various types of bone grafts are available, including natural and synthetic options.
One of the most commonly used bone grafts is ceramic-based, which contains calcium phosphate and sulfate. They can be combined with polymer-based degradable bone grafts or other materials for optimal results.
There are two types of membranes used in dental bone grafting procedures:
- 1. Resorbable membranes: These membranes are made of proteins and collagen and are considered to be safer to use, as they do not require a second surgical procedure to remove.
- 2. Non-resorbable membranes: Made of titanium or PTFE, these membranes provide the most predictable results with the best bone generation. However, they must be removed during a second procedure.
It’s important to note that the choice of bone graft and membrane will depend on the individual patient’s needs and goals. The specific advantages and disadvantages should be discussed with a dental professional before the procedure.
Discover the Dental Bone Graft Procedure benefits and advantages
By increasing the amount of healthy bone in the jaw, dental bone graft procedure can improve dental implants' strength and long-term success.
When a tooth is missing, the jawbone around the area can shrink and resorb over time. Dental bone graft procedure can help to prevent this resorption and maintain the shape and volume of the jaw.
Dental Bone Graft Procedure can be used in various dental procedures, making it a versatile and practical option for many patients.
Dental bone can improve the mouth's overall health and enhance the patient's bite and chewing ability by restoring healthy bone.
Can also improve the mouth's appearance, restoring a more natural shape to the jaw and reducing the risk of facial collapse.
Dental bone graft procedure can be used to prepare the jaw for other dental treatments, such as dentures, bridges, or implants.
Why do I need to do this treatment?
Missing bone can result in soft tissue defects and empty pockets that complicate future dental treatments. It is essential to have a healthy jawbone structure to ensure the best outcome for dental procedures such as implants. Bone loss weakens the jaw and can lead to horizontal loss, which can result in damage to other teeth.
These losses often occur due to tooth extractions, trauma, or car accidents, making it necessary to correct the jawbone shape and promote healing to maintain proper function for eating and speaking.
