Bone Grafting in Roseville, California

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

The process can take up to a few months to complete. We will determine the exact location of where the grafts are needed and the amount of bone required. Once this is established, the treatment can begin. In a bone graft procedure, the surgeon can take a section of bone from another area of the patient’s body, or, more commonly, use a special bone grafting material, and graft it onto the patient’s jaw bone.

During surgery, the dentist will make a small incision to prepare the site for the new bone and then place the bone grafting material and close the incision. Over time, the new bone attaches itself to the existing bone. Once the bone fuses to the jawbone, the patient is ready for dental implants.
