FREE Consultation: (817) 854-4329What Is Jawbone Grafting?
Jawbone grafting (also called bone augmentation) is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to your jaw to create a stable foundation for dental implants.
When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate over time. This bone loss can make it impossible to place dental implants without first rebuilding the bone structure.
Our experienced oral surgeons use advanced techniques and high-quality bone graft materials to restore your jawbone to a level that can successfully support dental implants.
When Is Bone Grafting Needed?
Long-Term Tooth Loss
If you've been missing teeth for months or years, significant bone loss has likely occurred.
Periodontal Disease
Advanced gum disease destroys bone tissue that supports teeth.
Tooth Extraction
Bone loss begins immediately after extraction; grafting preserves the socket.
Trauma or Injury
Facial injuries may damage jawbone structure requiring reconstruction.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) is a specialized bone grafting procedure for the upper jaw. It adds bone between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses.
This procedure is often necessary when:
- ✓ Upper back teeth (molars/premolars) need implants
- ✓ Sinuses are too close to the jaw for implant placement
- ✓ Bone height in the upper jaw is insufficient
- ✓ Teeth have been missing for an extended period
Types of Bone Graft Material
Autograft (Your Own Bone)
Bone harvested from another area of your body, typically the chin or hip. Considered the gold standard as it contains living cells.
Allograft (Donor Bone)
Processed bone from a tissue bank. Safe, effective, and eliminates the need for a second surgical site.
Xenograft (Animal Bone)
Specially processed bone from bovine sources. Provides an excellent scaffold for new bone growth.
Synthetic Bone Substitutes
Lab-created materials that mimic natural bone structure. Biocompatible and readily available.
