north hollywood / Los Angeles
Are you considering dental implants but have been told you don’t have enough bone to support them? Bone loss in the jaw is a common concern that can prevent many patients from achieving their dream smile or enjoying chewing their food. Through advanced dental bone grafting procedures, we can help rebuild your jaw’s foundation, making dental implant placement possible while restoring your oral health.
Our experienced team specializes in various bone grafting techniques designed to strengthen your jaw and create the ideal environment for successful implant placement. Using state-of-the-art technology and proven surgical methods, we’ve helped countless patients overcome bone loss challenges to achieve strong, lasting dental implant results.
What is Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a specialized surgical procedure that rebuilds or replaces lost bone tissue in your jaw. Whether due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury, bone loss can prevent you from getting dental implants. Our advanced bone grafting techniques create a strong foundation for successful implant placement.
When is Bone Grafting necessary?
You may need a dental bone graft if:
- You’ve experienced long-term tooth loss
- You have severe periodontal disease
- You’re preparing for dental implant surgery
- You’ve suffered facial trauma or injury
- You have naturally thin jaw bone structure
The Bone Grafting Process
- Initial Consultation: Comprehensive examination and 3D imaging to assess your bone structure
- Treatment Planning: Customized approach based on your specific needs
- Grafting Procedure: Precise placement of grafting material
- Healing Period: 4-6 months for proper bone integration
- Implant Placement: Once adequate bone density is achieved
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing progress through regular follow-up appointments.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days after their bone grafting procedure. During the first 24-48 hours, you may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Some patients may notice minor bruising that typically resolves within a week.
We recommend:
- Soft, cool foods for the first few days
- Avoiding strenuous physical activity for 3-5 days
- Using ice packs to minimize swelling
- Taking all prescribed medications as directed
- Gentle salt water rinses after 24 hours
- No smoking or drinking through straws during initial healing
