  • Socket Preservation
    This type of bone grafting is done immediately after a tooth extraction to preserve the tooth socket. It prevents the bone loss that happens after a tooth is removed. This is especially useful if you’re planning for a dental implant in the future.
  • Ridge Augmentation
    If the jaw has lost its natural shape due to missing teeth or injury, ridge augmentation helps rebuild the bone. This type of graft provides enough structure to support dental implants. It improves both the look and strength of your jawbone.
  • Sinus Lift
    When there’s not enough bone tissue in the upper jaw (especially near the back teeth), a sinus lift may be necessary. This adds height to the bone so implants can be placed securely. It’s a common reason many patients need bone grafting.
  • Major Bone Grafts
    These are more complex procedures used when there’s significant bone loss. Major bone grafts may require taking bone from another part of your body to rebuild the jaw. It’s often used when several teeth are missing or the bone has weakened over time.
  • Allograft and Xenograft
    These grafts use human or animal donor bone to restore bone tissue in the mouth. They’re safe, widely used and very effective for most types of bone grafting procedures. Many patients prefer these options because they avoid a second surgical site.

Bone Grafting Benefits

Bone grafting doesn’t just prepare your mouth for dental implants—it protects your long term oral health. By rebuilding the jawbone it keeps your teeth in alignment and prevents your face from looking sunken or aged. It also helps maintain a healthy connection between your gums, teeth, and bones. When done by a skilled provider like Dr. Tilwani, it can significantly improve both function and appearance. At our Plano office we’ve seen how life changing this simple surgical procedure can be for so many of our patients.

  • Supports Dental Implants
    The most common reason for bone grafting is to prepare the jawbone for implant placement. Without enough bone, implants can’t anchor properly. A strong base ensures your new teeth stay secure and last longer.
  • Prevents Bone Loss
    After tooth loss or extraction, the bone starts to shrink over time. A bone graft stops this process and even helps reverse it. This keeps your facial structure intact and your teeth aligned.
  • Improves Facial Appearance
    Bone loss can lead to a sunken or collapsed look in the cheeks and jaw. Bone grafting restores the fullness of your face. This helps you maintain a more youthful appearance and confident smile.
  • Boosts Oral Health
    A healthy jawbone supports better overall dental health. It prevents shifting teeth, strengthens the gums and provides a better fit for future restorations. The procedure helps build a strong foundation for everything that follows.
  • More Treatment Options
    Without enough bone tissue, many treatments like dental implants aren’t possible. After bone grafting, more solutions become available. It opens the door to restore your smile completely.

Bone Grafting Procedure at Dr. Sunny K Tilwani

Our goal is to help your jawbone become strong enough to support future treatments like dental implants.

  1. Initial Consultation
    During your first visit, Dr. Tilwani will examine your mouth and jaw using digital imaging. He’ll check how much bone you have and where grafting might be needed. You’ll also discuss your goals, health history, and if you’re planning for implant placement.
  2. Treatment Planning
    Once we know what kind of grafting procedure you need, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This includes choosing the right graft material and explaining the steps. You’ll know exactly what’s going to happen and how to prepare.
  3. Grafting Procedure
    On the day of your procedure you’ll receive local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Then the bone graft material is placed where it’s needed and covered with special membranes to help healing. The area is then sutured to keep everything in place.
  4. Healing and Bone Growth
    Over the next few months, the bone tissue begins to fuse with your natural jawbone. This healing time allows the new bone to grow strong and ready for the next step. We’ll check in with you during the healing process to make sure everything is progressing well.
  5. Next Steps (Implants or Other Procedures)
    Once your jawbone is strong enough, you can move forward with dental implants or other restorations. With a solid foundation in place, your new teeth will feel more secure and function just like natural ones. We’ll guide you through the rest of the journey with expert care.

FAQs

Is bone grafting painful?

No, most people don’t feel pain during the procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area so you’re completely comfortable. You might feel some mild soreness afterwards like with any surgical procedure but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter medication. Most patients are back to normal within a few days.

How long does a bone graft take to heal?

It depends on the type and size of the graft but most cases take 3 to 6 months. During that time, the bone tissue fuses with your natural jawbone. We’ll check on you during the healing process and let you know when it’s time for your next step like implant placement. Healing time varies for everyone but we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Will I need a bone graft before getting dental implants?

If you’ve had tooth loss or a tooth extraction a while ago, you may need one. A strong jawbone is necessary to support dental implants properly. We’ll take X-rays and scans to determine if you have enough bone. If not bone grafting, it will give you the foundation you need.

Where does the graft material come from?

We use several safe and proven sources for bone grafting material. It can come from a donor (human or animal) or your bone. Donor grafts are commonly used and are thoroughly sterilized and tested. We’ll explain your options and help you choose what’s best for your case.

What if I don’t get a bone graft?

Without bone grafting, your jawbone will continue to shrink, especially after missing teeth or tooth extraction. This can make future dental implants impossible or less stable. It can also affect how your face looks and how your teeth fit together. A bone graft helps preserve your smile and your overall oral health.
