Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting: Restoring Jawbone for Dental Implants & Oral Health

Bone grafting is an advanced regenerative procedure that helps rebuild lost or weakened jawbone, creating a strong foundation for dental implants, bridges, and dentures. At Pristine Dental & Implant Clinic, we specialize in cutting-edge bone grafting techniques to restore bone volume and ensure long-term oral health.

Why is Bone Grafting Needed?

Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to:
✔️ Tooth Loss – Missing teeth lead to natural bone resorption over time.
✔️ Periodontal Disease – Advanced gum infections cause bone deterioration.
✔️ Trauma or Injury – Accidents can result in bone damage.
✔️ Sinus Expansion – In the upper jaw, sinus cavities may enlarge, reducing available bone.

A bone graft rebuilds the lost structure, making it possible to place dental implants securely and maintain facial aesthetics.

Types of Bone Grafts

Autograft (Self-Donated Bone)
  • Bone is taken from your own body (usually the jaw, hip, or tibia).
  • Ensures the best compatibility and healing potential.
Allograft (Donor Bone)
  • Uses processed human bone from a tissue bank.
  • Eliminates the need for a second surgical site.
Xenograft (Animal-Derived Bone)
  • Bone from bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) sources.
  • Provides a strong scaffold for new bone growth.
Alloplast (Synthetic Bone Substitute)
  • Uses biocompatible materials such as calcium phosphate or bioactive glass.
  • Encourages natural bone regeneration.

Bone Grafting Procedure

Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
  • A detailed clinical examination, digital X-rays, and CBCT scans assess bone volume.
Step 3: Healing & Bone Integration
  • Over 3 to 6 months, the graft fuses with natural bone, creating a solid foundation.
Step 2: Bone Graft Placement
  • The selected bone graft material is placed in the deficient area.
  • In some cases, a membrane is used to protect the graft and enhance healing.
Step 4: Dental Implant Placement (If Required)
  • Once healed, dental implants can be placed with maximum stability.

When is Bone Grafting Performed?

✔️ Before Dental Implants – To ensure sufficient bone support for implants.
✔️ After Tooth Extraction – To preserve bone volume and prevent resorption.
✔️ For Ridge Augmentation – To rebuild jaw contours for improved aesthetics.
✔️ For Sinus Lift Surgery – To increase bone height in the upper jaw before implant placement.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

✔️ Restores jawbone strength and volume
✔️ Enables secure dental implant placement
✔️ Preserves facial structure and aesthetics
✔️ Prevents further bone loss and gum recession
