What Is Dental Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting is a procedure that restores areas of the jaw where bone has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. When bone weakens, it can affect your ability to get dental implants or other restorations, and may even change the shape of your face over time. A bone graft adds strong, healthy support back to your jaw so you can smile, chew, and speak with confidence.
During the procedure, grafting material is placed where bone is missing. Over time, your body naturally grows new bone around this material, creating a solid foundation for future treatments. Most grafts take a few months to fully heal before an implant can be placed, but the long-term benefits are worth it.
Dental Bone Grafting may be recommended for:
-
Tooth loss – When missing teeth have caused the jawbone to shrink over time.
-
Gum disease – Advanced periodontal disease that weakens or destroys supporting bone.
-
Injury or trauma – Damage from accidents that leads to bone loss in the jaw.
-
Preparing for dental implants – Creating a stable foundation to securely hold a single implant.
-
All-on-X treatments – Strengthening the jaw to support a full arch of implants and ensure long-term stability.
-
Sinus augmentation – Adding bone to the upper jaw below the sinuses to allow implant placement.
-
Support for dentures or bridges – Reinforcing bone so restorations fit comfortably and securely.

Evaluation – We start with a full exam and advanced imaging (such as 3D scans) to measure your bone health and identify the best grafting approach for your needs.
-
Graft Placement – During the procedure, bone material is gently placed into the areas where support is needed. We use safe, effective grafting materials that encourage your natural bone to grow and rebuild.
-
Healing Period – Over the next several months, your body creates new bone around the graft. This integration process strengthens the jaw and forms a secure foundation for future treatments.

Your Dental Bone Grafting Questions Answered
Is bone grafting painful?
No — the procedure is performed with local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable. You may feel some soreness afterward, but it is usually mild and can be managed with medication and aftercare.
How long does it take to heal?
Most patients need 3–6 months for the graft to fully integrate with their natural bone. Healing time can vary depending on the size of the graft and your overall health.
Why would I need a bone graft?
Bone grafting is recommended when the jawbone is too thin or weak to support dental implants or other restorations. It may also be needed after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury.
Can bone grafting be done with dental implants?
Yes. In some cases, a graft can be placed at the same time as an implant. Other times, it’s done first to allow the bone to heal before implant placement.
What types of bone grafts are available?
Options include natural bone (from your body or a donor), synthetic materials, or a combination. We’ll recommend the best choice for your specific situation.
Is bone grafting safe?
Yes. Bone grafting is a routine and safe procedure. The materials used are biocompatible, meaning they work naturally with your body to encourage healing.
Will I be able to eat normally afterward?
You’ll start with soft foods while your mouth heals, then gradually return to your normal diet. We’ll give you detailed guidelines for a smooth recovery.
Are there risks with bone grafting?
As with any procedure, there are small risks such as infection, swelling, or delayed healing. Our experienced team takes every precaution to minimize these risks.
How do I know if I’m a candidate?
You may be a candidate if you’ve experienced bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or injury and want dental implants or All-on-X dental implant treatment. We’ll confirm with a consultation and imaging.
3 Reasons We Recommend
Greater Stability
Traditional removable dentures are held in place by natural suction or with the help of denture adhesive, but they can still slip and fall out. Because All-on-X implants are anchored in the jawbone, the dentures they support are never at risk of moving around. While traditional dentures must be removed each night to let the gums rest, All-on-X dentures stay securely in your mouth at all times. You'll never have to be without your smile again.
Better Oral Health
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants and dentures replace teeth from root to crown. This is crucial for your oral health, as your tooth roots provide stimulation to keep your jaw healthy and strong. Without that stimulation, the jawbone will inevitably atrophy, which can lead to issues including an aged appearance, dental shifting, and further tooth loss. Implants are the only treatment that can prevent this atrophy.
Long Term Solution
In most cases, removable dentures should be replaced every five to seven years. Our All-on-X dental implant dentures, however, are made of zirconia, the strongest material on the market, and can last a lifetime with proper care and regular dental checkups.
It will change your life!
"I wish I hadn't waited over a year to make a decision. Don't wait, don't hesitate. It will change your life. I can smile again, I feel pretty again."

Why All-on-X Dental Implants?
Full Arch Replacement
Completely restore your upper, lower, or both arches of teeth with the transformative All-on-X dental implant procedure, renewing your smile, functionality, and confidence.
Cost Effective
One of the biggest advantages of the All-on-X dental implant method is its cost-effectiveness compared to traditional implants for a full arch. This approach requires fewer implants to secure a permanent denture and often eliminates the need for preliminary procedures like bone grafting, saving you time and money.

Are You Ready to
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are a special type of dental implant that anchors into the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. They’re designed for patients who don’t have enough bone in their upper jaw for traditional implants, often due to bone loss after missing teeth for many years. This advanced option creates a strong, stable foundation for a full set of upper teeth.
Here’s how they work and why they matter:
- Anchored in the cheekbone: Unlike traditional implants placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are secured in the cheekbones, which stay strong even after tooth loss.
- No bone grafting required: This approach avoids the need for complex bone grafting procedures, even in cases of major jawbone recession.
- Safe and stable foundation: The cheekbone provides strong, lasting support for your new teeth, helping restore both function and confidence.
- Comfort-first care: The procedure is done under full anesthesia, so you can rest easy while our team handles everything with care.
- A second chance at a real smile: Zygomatic implants are changing lives for patients who were once told they had no options left.
At Stubbs Dental, we believe no one should be turned away from a confident smile. We’re here to explore every possibility with you.
