What Is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a restorative dental procedure that rebuilds bone in your jaw, often necessary when bone has been lost due to:
- Tooth loss
- Gum disease
- Trauma
- Infection
By adding bone graft material to these areas, we encourage your body to regenerate new, healthy bone — creating a strong foundation for dental implants and improving your overall oral health.

PREPARE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS WITH BONE GRAFTING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are not healing or to build up bones that are deformed. Bone grafting can be performed using a variety of different techniques, and the type of technique used will depend on the location and extent of the bone loss. At A+ Family Dentistry, we routinely use a variety of bone grafting techniques with our over 20 years of experience to help our patients heal from their injuries, prepare for dental implants or other restorations, and regain their normal function.
What Causes Bone Loss in the Jaw?
- Missing teeth – no chewing = no bone stimulation
- Periodontal disease – advanced gum infections erode bone
- Injury or trauma – facial damage can lead to structural loss
- Infections/cysts – degrade the surrounding bone
If left untreated, bone loss may result in:
- A sunken facial appearance
- Shifting or loose teeth
- Ineligibility for dental implants
- Changes to your bite or speech
Common Concerns & Risks
Bone grafting is low-risk when performed by trained professionals. Still, we’ll discuss:
- Risk of infection (rare)
- Possible graft rejection or delayed healing
- Temporary discomfort or swelling
Our team takes every precaution to ensure a safe and smooth experience.
What to Expect: The Bone Graft Procedure
We use digital X-rays and 3D scans to plan precisely.
We prioritize your comfort throughout the process.
The graft material is positioned at the site of loss.
A protective barrier may be added to aid healing.
We close the site and provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Recovery & Healing
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal. Full healing takes 3–6 months as the graft bonds with your natural bone.
Pro tips for healing:
- Stick to soft foods
- Avoid smoking
