Dental implants are one of the most reliable and natural-looking solutions for replacing missing teeth. However, implants require a solid foundation of healthy bone in the jaw to be successful. Unfortunately, bone loss is a common issue after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. That’s where bone grafting comes in.
At Veda Family Dentistry in West New York, NJ, we provide advanced bone grafting procedures to restore bone volume and strength, giving you the foundation you need for long-lasting dental implants. Our experienced team uses modern techniques and compassionate care to help you regain both function and confidence in your smile.
What Is Bone Grafting and Why Is It Needed?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or strengthens the jawbone to support dental implants. When bone volume is too thin or too weak, implants cannot properly anchor, which may lead to failure.
Common reasons patients need bone grafting include:
Tooth Loss – Without stimulation from tooth roots, bone naturally deteriorates over time.
Periodontal (Gum) Disease – Advanced gum infection can damage the supporting bone.
Injury or Trauma – Accidents may fracture or weaken the jawbone.
Tooth Extraction – The socket left behind may not heal with enough bone density.
Sinus Expansion – In the upper jaw, sinus cavities can enlarge into areas where implants are needed.
Bone grafting rebuilds these areas, making it possible to place dental implants securely and successfully.
Types of Bone Grafts
At Veda Family Dentistry, we customize bone grafting procedures based on your specific needs. Different grafting methods include:
Socket Preservation
Immediately after tooth extraction, bone graft material is placed into the empty socket to prevent future bone loss.Ridge Augmentation
Used when the jawbone is too thin or narrow, this procedure builds width and height to support implants.Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)
Adds bone to the upper jaw, beneath the sinus, when bone height is insufficient for implants in the back teeth.Block Graft
In cases of significant bone loss, a small block of bone is used to reconstruct the jaw structure.Guided Bone Regeneration
A special membrane is used with grafting material to promote natural bone growth and healing.
Our dentists carefully evaluate your jaw using 3D imaging and X-rays to determine the best type of graft for your situation.
What to Expect During Bone Grafting
Knowing what to expect helps reduce anxiety and prepares you for a smooth recovery:
Consultation & Imaging – Our team assesses bone health using digital scans.
Anesthesia & Comfort – Local anesthesia (and sedation if requested) ensures a pain-free procedure.
Placement of Bone Graft Material – Bone graft material (synthetic, donor, or natural) is carefully placed in the deficient area.
Healing Period – Over the next several months, the graft integrates with your natural bone.
Dental Implant Placement – Once the graft has healed, implants can be securely placed.
Most patients experience only mild soreness or swelling, and recovery is generally straightforward with proper care.
