Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone or bone-like materials to the jawbone. This treatment becomes necessary when bone density or volume is insufficient to support dental implants or other restorations. The graft strengthens the jawbone and helps maintain both facial structure and function. Our highly skilled dentist uses digital X-rays or CT scans to assess the extent of bone loss before planning the procedure. Several graft materials are available, and we recommend the option best suited to your situation.
Dental implants need a solid foundation, and grafting rebuilds the bone lost to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or trauma to provide exactly that support for the implant.
The jawbone resorbs after a tooth extraction, and a graft helps maintain that bone structure and prevents any further deterioration over the coming years ahead of you.
Restoring lost bone volume improves your facial aesthetics, particularly when the bone loss has already caused noticeable changes in your appearance in the mirror.
A graft opens the door to restorative treatments that would otherwise be off the table, including implants in areas with thin or entirely missing bone in the jaw.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Request an AppointmentOur highly skilled dentist examines your oral health and uses digital X-rays or CT scans to assess the full extent of the bone loss throughout your entire jaw.
We review each of the different bone graft types that are available to you and then recommend whichever single option best suits your anatomy.
Local anesthesia or sedation is administered the day of your surgery, depending on the overall complexity of your particular grafting procedure.
An incision exposes the bone, the graft material is placed at the site of loss, and a membrane may cover and protect it while healing properly.
The incision is closed with sutures, a protective dressing may be applied, and follow-up appointments then track your healing over the months.
You want dental implants but do not have nearly enough bone density or volume left in the jaw to support them without some form of added support.
A tooth has come out recently, and the surrounding jawbone has already begun to resorb and weaken in that open space left behind by the tooth.
Advanced gum disease has eaten away at the bone supporting your teeth, leaving the remaining structure compromised by the ongoing infection.
Bone loss has changed the shape of your face quite noticeably over time, giving your lower jaw a sunken or collapsed appearance along the jawline.

Anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure itself. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescribed pain relievers, and swelling usually subsides within a few days.
Stick to a soft-food diet for the first few days following surgery. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that could irritate the surgical site while it heals.
Rinse gently with a saltwater solution to maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid brushing directly over the graft site until it has healed sufficiently.
The cost depends on the graft material used, the size of the site, and whether it is done alongside an extraction. Our team reviews the full fee before surgery is scheduled.
Coverage varies by plan and often depends on whether the graft is tied to a medically necessary restoration. Our front office will verify your benefits before you commit.
Rebuilding your jawbone opens the door to implants and other restorations you may have been told were out of reach. Contact Gardena Dental Group today to discuss bone grafting in Gardena, CA.
