Overview
Bone grafting rebuilds lost jawbone so a dental implant has enough strong, healthy bone to anchor into. It is a common, well-established step for patients who have lost bone after missing teeth, gum disease or long-term denture wear.
Benefits
- Makes implants possible where bone is insufficient
- Restores jaw volume and facial support
- Uses safe, proven grafting materials
- Improves long-term implant stability
How it works
- 1
Assessment & CT scan
A 3D scan shows exactly where and how much bone is needed.
- 2
Graft placement
Grafting material is placed under local anaesthetic to rebuild the area.
- 3
Healing
New bone forms over several months, ready to support an implant.
- 4
Implant placement
Once healed, your implant is placed into the new, solid bone.
Aftercare & long-term tips
Eat soft foods, avoid pressure on the area and follow your medication and hygiene plan while the new bone forms.
First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.
First few days
Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.
Long term
Eat normally and protect your result with the simple habits below.
Do
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Attend your regular check-ups and cleanings
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Keep the area clean and rinse as advised
Avoid
- Biting very hard objects — ice, pen lids, shells
- Opening bottle or soda caps with your teeth
- Too many hard nuts or sticky, chewy sweets
- Smoking and staining drinks in the first days
