So bone grafts are very important when getting a tooth removed, or if you’ve been missing a tooth for a long time, to graft your jawbone, to get enough support to have a dental implant or a bridge or a partial denture. You need some support for whatever appliance or dental implant you’re putting in your jaw. So what happens is if you get a tooth removed, there’s no more stimulation in the jawbone. It’s like a muscle. You don’t use it, it’s going to shrink down over time.rnrnSo if you get your tooth pulled and you don’t put a bone graft in the area where you had it removed, then that jawbone is going to shrink down, and your face might cave in a little bit in that area, or your teeth will shift into that area, or you might not be able to replace that tooth later. So bone grafting is very important to restore the facial structure of your look and to set up an area to replace that tooth with either a dental implant or any other kind of restoration.

Enjoy Gentle & Personalized Bone Grafting Care
Before moving forward with grafting, your dentist will perform a thorough exam of your jaw. Dr. Daboul will determine if implants are right for your needs. Depending on your goals, you may not need grafting. Mini implants and All-on-4 treatment are options that typically avoid the need for grafting. But if your bone loss is more significant, grafting may be a necessary first step.
The process includes:
- Placement of Bone Material – Dr. Daboul will place special bone-stimulating material precisely where your jaw needs reinforcement.
- Stabilization With Sutures – A few small stitches hold the material securely in place while your body begins the healing process.
- Natural Bone Regrowth – Over the course of several months, your body will generate new bone tissue around the grafted area.
- Ongoing Monitoring – You’ll return to our office for periodic checkups to ensure proper healing and track your progress.
- Implant Readiness – Once healing is complete and your jaw has regained strength, you can move forward with dental implant placement.
