What is Bone Grafting

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that adds bone or bone-like material to areas of the jaw that have weakened or lost density. By strengthening and rebuilding the bone, grafting creates the solid foundation needed to support dental implants and other restorations. It also helps preserve your jaw structure and facial appearance, and our team can take X-rays to determine whether your bone needs this extra support.

The Benefits of Bone Grafting

Supports Implants

A graft rebuilds lost jawbone to give dental implants the strong, solid foundation they need to succeed.

Preserves Bone

After a tooth is removed, a graft preserves the bone in the socket and prevents further deterioration.

Restores Appearance

Restoring lost bone volume supports your facial structure for a more youthful and natural appearance.

Better Function

A rebuilt jaw improves your ability to chew and speak and helps keep your bite properly aligned.

Our Step-by-Step Process

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

    Graft Placement

    An incision reveals the bone, the graft material is placed at the site, and a membrane may protect it.

    The incision is closed with sutures, and we share aftercare tips and schedule follow-up visits to heal.

Signs You May Need Bone Grafting

Jawbone Loss

Bone loss from gum disease, tooth loss, or trauma may need grafting before implants can be placed.

Recent Extraction

A recent extraction can leave a socket where a graft helps preserve the bone before it resorbs.

Facial Changes

Noticeable changes in your facial appearance from bone loss can be improved by restoring lost volume.

Low Bone Density

A jaw that lacks the density to support a restoration may need grafting to rebuild a stable foundation.

You're in good company…

How much does it cost to get bone grafting in Woodland Hills, CA?

The cost depends on the size of the graft, the type of material used, and whether sedation is needed. Our dentist will provide a detailed treatment plan outlining all fees during your consultation.

Does insurance cover bone grafting in Woodland Hills, CA?

Coverage varies by plan, and many policies help when grafting is part of a necessary treatment like implant preparation. Our team will verify your benefits and include your estimated coverage in your plan.

When can I get bone grafting?

After a consultation with X-rays or CT scans to assess your bone, we can schedule your procedure at the right time. Contact us and we will map out a timeline that fits your treatment plan.

Is bone grafting painful?

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the graft. Any post-surgery discomfort is usually mild, easily managed with medication, and fades within a few days.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing varies by graft size and individual factors, and it typically takes several months for the graft to fully blend with your existing bone. Your dentist will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.

Why is bone grafting important for implants?

Dental implants need enough healthy bone to fuse with and stay stable over time. Grafting rebuilds that foundation, increasing the likelihood of successful osseointegration and a long-lasting implant.
