Rebuild Strength. Restore Support.

Your jawbone plays a vital role in maintaining your facial structure and keeping teeth — or dental implants — secure. When bone loss occurs due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, bone grafting can restore the structure and strength needed for long-term oral health.

At pulp&dentin, we make every treatment personal and pressure-free. We’ll guide you through the process with clarity and care, ensuring your comfort every step of the way.

We proudly serve Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Wrigleyville, Andersonville, and North Center.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or replaces lost jawbone tissue. The graft material encourages your body to regenerate new, strong bone over time — creating a solid base for future dental implants or restorations.

It’s commonly recommended for patients who:

Have experienced bone loss after a tooth extraction
Plan to receive dental implants
Suffer from gum disease-related bone deterioration
Want to preserve facial structure and prevent sagging

Bone grafting helps maintain your natural appearance and ensures that future restorations fit securely and comfortably.

Types of Bone Grafts

Depending on your needs, Dr. Renieris may recommend one of several grafting approaches:

Socket Preservation: Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss.
Ridge Augmentation: Rebuilds the jaw’s natural contour after bone resorption.
Sinus Lift: Adds bone to the upper jaw (above molars or premolars) to support dental implants.

Your treatment plan is always personalized — we’ll discuss your options clearly before beginning.

The Bone Grafting Process

Consultation & Imaging: We take digital X-rays or scans to assess your bone structure.
Graft Placement: The bone graft material is gently placed in the affected area.
Healing & Integration: Over several months, the graft fuses naturally with your existing bone.
Follow-Up: Once healed, you’ll be ready for your next step — whether that’s an implant or another restorative solution.

The process is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation to keep you comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bone grafting painful?

The procedure is gentle and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report only mild soreness afterward, easily managed with medication.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the type and size of the graft.

Do I need bone grafting before getting dental implants?

If your jawbone isn’t thick or strong enough to hold an implant, a graft is usually recommended. We’ll determine this with an exam and imaging.

What materials are used for the graft?

We use safe, biocompatible graft materials designed to integrate naturally with your own bone.

Can bone grafting prevent facial sagging?

Yes. By restoring lost bone, grafting helps maintain the natural shape and structure of your face after tooth loss.
