Restore Jawbone Strength with Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a dental procedure used to rebuild or replace bone that has been lost in the jaw. Bone loss can occur due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, or injury, and it may affect the stability of surrounding teeth and future dental restorations. At The Tooth, we provide bone grafting treatments to restore jawbone structure and support long-term oral health.
This procedure is commonly performed before treatments such as dental implants or other restorative procedures that require strong bone support. Patients in Sacramento, Roseville, and Yuba City often benefit from bone grafting because it helps rebuild the foundation needed for a healthy and functional smile.

When is Bone Grafting Needed
Bone grafting is recommended when the jawbone does not have enough volume or density to support dental restorations or maintain oral health. Rebuilding the bone helps create a stable foundation for future dental treatments.
You may need bone grafting if you have:
- Bone loss due to missing teeth
- Jawbone deterioration from periodontal disease
- Bone damage after tooth extraction
- Insufficient bone for dental implants
- Structural issues affecting dental restorations
Our dentist will carefully evaluate your jawbone using digital imaging to determine whether bone grafting is necessary.
What to Expect During the Bone Grafting Procedure
Bone grafting involves placing specialized grafting material into the area where bone has been lost. Over time, the graft helps stimulate new bone growth and strengthens the jaw.
The bone grafting process typically includes:
A comprehensive dental exam and digital imaging
Preparing the area where bone loss has occurred
Placing the bone graft material
Allowing time for the bone to regenerate and integrate
Monitoring healing during follow-up visits
After healing, the newly regenerated bone can provide strong support for dental implants or other restorative treatments.

Bone Grafting FAQs
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or replace lost jawbone using specialized grafting materials that promote new bone growth.
Why is bone grafting needed before dental implants?
Dental implants require a strong and stable jawbone for proper support. Bone grafting helps rebuild the bone if it has deteriorated.
How long does bone graft healing take?
Healing time varies depending on the case, but bone grafts typically require several months to fully integrate.
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during recovery.
Can bone loss occur after tooth extraction?
Yes. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone may gradually shrink. Bone grafting helps restore and preserve the jawbone structure.
