Bone Grafting for Stronger, Healthier Smiles 

If you’ve experienced bone loss in the jaw due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, bone grafting can help rebuild the structure needed for a strong, healthy smile. At Zarabi Dental, we specialize in advanced bone grafting procedures to restore lost bone and create a stable foundation for dental implants, dentures, or overall oral health improvement.

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a regenerative procedure that replaces and rebuilds missing bone in the jaw. This process strengthens the jawbone and provides necessary support for future dental restorations. Over time, the grafted bone integrates with your natural bone, promoting new growth and stability.

Why is Bone Grafting Needed?

  • To Support Dental Implants – Ensures enough bone volume for successful implant placement.
  • To Reverse Bone Loss from Periodontal Disease – Gum disease can cause jawbone deterioration, which bone grafting can help rebuild.
  • To Preserve Bone After Tooth Extraction – Prevents future shrinkage of the bone structure.
  • To Correct Jawbone Defects or Trauma – Restores lost bone after injury or congenital conditions.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

  • Socket Preservation (Ridge Preservation) – Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
  • Sinus Lift Bone Graft – Increases bone height in the upper jaw for successful dental implant placement.
  • Ridge Augmentation – Restores the natural shape of the jawbone when significant bone loss has occurred.
  • Autografts, Allografts, & Xenografts – Different grafting materials used based on individual needs, including patient’s own bone, donor bone, or synthetic options.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Restores Jawbone Strength & Density – Creates a stable foundation for implants or dentures.
Prevents Further Bone Loss – Protects the structure of your jaw and surrounding teeth.
Enhances Facial Aesthetics – Maintains a youthful facial appearance by preventing jawbone shrinkage.
Increases Success of Dental Implants – Improves implant stability and long-term durability.

What to Expect During a Bone Grafting Procedure

  1. Consultation & Digital Imaging – We assess your bone health using 3D scans or X-rays to determine the extent of bone loss.
  2. Bone Graft Placement – Under local anesthesia, we place the grafting material in the affected area.
  3. Healing & Bone Regeneration – Over a few months, the new bone integrates with your natural jawbone.
  4. Future Dental Restorations – Once healed, the area is ready for dental implants or other restorations.

Am I a Candidate for Bone Grafting?

You may need bone grafting if you:

  • Have insufficient jawbone for dental implants
  • Have experienced bone loss due to gum disease
  • Have had a tooth extracted and want to preserve the bone
  • Are preparing for full-mouth rehabilitation
