What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or strengthens areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. When teeth are missing or severely damaged, the bone underneath begins to shrink due to lack of stimulation. A graft adds new, healthy material to the area, allowing your body to regenerate bone and restore natural strength.

Bone grafts benefit patients who need:

  • Stronger support for dental implants
  • Restoration of bone lost from periodontal disease
  • Stabilization after tooth extraction
  • Improved facial structure and symmetry
  • Prevention of further bone collapse

Modern grafting materials are biocompatible, safe, and designed to integrate seamlessly with your own bone. As healing occurs, the graft encourages your body to rebuild the area naturally, creating a durable foundation for future restorative treatments.

Is Bone Grafting Right for Me?

Bone grafting may be recommended if you have experienced bone loss that affects your function, appearance, or ability to receive other dental treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Clark evaluates your medical history, oral health, and long-term goals to determine whether grafting supports your needs.

You may be a candidate for bone grafting if:

  • You lost one or more teeth and have bone shrinkage
  • You are planning dental implants and need stronger support
  • You have gum disease that caused bone deterioration
  • You have a sunken or collapsed appearance in the jaw
  • You experienced trauma or infection that damaged the bone
  • Your sinuses sit too close to the upper jaw for implant placement

Bone grafting plays a vital role in preserving your natural structures and creating long-lasting stability. Dr. Clark takes time to explain your options, answer your questions, and ensure the treatment aligns with your overall oral health plan.

Types of Bone Grafts Available

Different grafting materials are available to meet various clinical needs. Dr. Clark will help you select the option that offers the best support, safety, and long-term outcome for your situation.

  • Autograft (Your Own Bone): Bone is taken from another area of your body, often the jaw. This option integrates very well and supports strong healing.
  • Allograft (Donor Bone): Sterile, processed donor bone is used to rebuild areas that need support. This is a highly researched and widely trusted option.
  • Xenograft (Animal-Derived Bone): Mineralized bone material, often sourced from bovine origin, supports gradual regeneration and is commonly used in implant dentistry.
  • Alloplast (Synthetic Material): Biocompatible synthetic materials encourage bone growth and provide reliable structure.

Each material offers specific benefits. During your consultation, Dr. Clark will explain how each works and help you choose the approach that best matches your restorative needs, lifestyle, and preferences.

The Bone Grafting Process in Sacramento, CA

Your treatment plan is personalized from start to finish. Dr. Clark uses advanced training in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry to ensure predictable results and optimal long-term outcomes. Every step is designed to support both functional strength and natural aesthetics.

Here is what you can expect:

Dr. Clark begins with a detailed evaluation of your oral health, bone levels, and treatment goals. Using digital imaging and diagnostic tools, he identifies the exact areas of bone loss and discusses the grafting technique that will work best for your case.

Your customized plan will be designed to restore strength, symmetry, and stability. Dr. Clark reviews the grafting material options, explains expected healing times, and outlines how bone grafting will support future treatments such as implants.

During the procedure, the grafting material is carefully positioned and secured in the area of bone loss. The site is then closed and protected to promote proper healing. Dr. Clark performs each step with meticulous precision to encourage optimal integration.

Over the next several months, your body gradually integrates the graft. New bone cells form and replace the grafting material, creating a strong and stable foundation.

Once healing is complete, Dr. Clark moves forward with the next phase of your treatment plan, when appropriate. This may include implants, bridges, or other restorative solutions to rebuild your smile.
