What Is Bone Grafting?

A bone grafting procedure adds bone material to your jaw to rebuild the strength and volume needed for tooth restoration and dental implants.

When a tooth is lost, the bone beneath the gums begins to deteriorate. Traditional fillings or crowns can't reverse this, which is why many patients turn to dental implants — but your jawbone must be strong enough to support one. Bone grafting supplements the area with graft material, and over time, your body naturally grows new bone tissue around it, strengthening the site until it's ready for implant placement.

How Bone Grafting Works

Bone graft material is placed directly into the socket to rebuild volume and support future implant placement.

The graft site: Material is packed into the socket or defect area where bone has been lost.

The healing process: Over several months, your body's own bone cells grow into and replace the graft material.

Types of Bone Graft Material

Your dentist will recommend the material best suited to your bone volume, health history, and treatment goals.

Autograft

Bone harvested from your own body — typically the chin, back of the jaw, or hip. Provides live bone cells and integrates well with the graft site.

Gold Standard

Allograft

Processed donor bone from a human tissue bank, carefully sterilized to eliminate disease transmission risk. Avoids a second surgical site.

Frequently Used

Xenograft

Processed bone from an animal source, typically bovine, sterilized and used as a scaffold for new bone growth.

Frequently Used

Synthetic Graft

Biocompatible materials like calcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite that mimic natural bone composition and encourage regrowth.
