What Is Bone Grafting?

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.

The Benefits of Bone Grafting

Implant Support

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.

Structure Preservation

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.

Facial Aesthetics

Restoring lost bone volume improves your facial aesthetics, particularly when the bone loss has already caused noticeable changes in your appearance in the mirror.

Expanded Options

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.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Examination and Imaging

    Our 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.

  2. 02

    Options Discussion

    We review each of the different bone graft types that are available to you and then recommend whichever single option best suits your anatomy.

  3. 03

    Comfortable Anesthesia

    Local anesthesia or sedation is administered the day of your surgery, depending on the overall complexity of your particular grafting procedure.

  4. 04

    Graft Placement

    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.

  5. 05

    Suturing Recovery

    The incision is closed with sutures, a protective dressing may be applied, and follow-up appointments then track your healing over the months.

Signs You May Need Bone Grafting

Planned Implants

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.

Recent Extraction

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.

Periodontal Loss

Advanced gum disease has eaten away at the bone supporting your teeth, leaving the remaining structure compromised by the ongoing infection.

Facial Changes

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.

You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 366-7666.

Is bone grafting painful?

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.

What should I eat after bone graft surgery?

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.

How do I keep the graft site clean?

Rinse gently with a saltwater solution to maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid brushing directly over the graft site until it has healed sufficiently.

How much does bone grafting in Gardena, CA, cost?

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.

Does insurance cover bone grafting in Gardena, CA?

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.
