Bone grafting that rebuilds the jawbone foundation you need for successful dental implants and long-term oral health.
Restores lost jawbone volume to create the foundation needed for dental implants or to prevent future bone loss.
Bone Grafting at Woodbend Dental
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone that once supported it begins to resorb — shrinking in both height and width. Within months to a few years, significant bone volume can be lost, making dental implant placement difficult or impossible without first rebuilding that bone.
Bone grafting restores this lost volume using safe, biocompatible graft material — typically a processed donor bone or synthetic bone substitute. Over 3–6 months, the graft integrates with your existing bone, providing a stable, dense foundation for implant placement.
Socket preservation grafts — placed immediately at the time of tooth extraction — prevent the majority of post-extraction bone loss from occurring in the first place. This simple step can save significant time and cost for patients who plan to have implants in the future.
Benefits & What You Can Expect
What to expect, step by step
Bone Assessment & 3D Imaging
CBCT imaging maps the exact bone volume available and guides the grafting plan.
Graft Placement
Graft material is placed at the extraction site or defect under local anaesthetic.
Healing Period
The graft integrates with existing bone over 3–6 months before implant placement can proceed.
Implant Placement
Once bone density and volume are confirmed, your dental implant procedure can proceed as planned.
