What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is when an oral surgeon puts a bit of bone graft into your jawbone area through your gum.
It helps your bone regenerate and provides more density to support a dental implant later. Most of the time this is done during a tooth extraction.

Bone Graft Substances

Several types of substances can be used for bone grafts. The most common is a synthetic substance. Donor substances from either human or animal donation centers are also used. All are safe and meet all standards.

The Procedure is Easy for You

Dentists and oral surgeons typically insert a bone graft during a tooth extraction to avoid extra surgery. It takes at least three months for the bone graft to help regenerate bone and for the gum to completely heal, although you will recover within three or four days. You will likely be given an antibiotic after surgery to prevent infection.
