Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or augments the jawbone using bone material — either from your own body, a donor source, or synthetic materials. The graft integrates with your existing bone over several months, creating a solid foundation for dental implants or restoring the natural contour of your jaw after tooth loss or trauma. ## Why Is Bone Grafting Needed? When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding jawbone begins to resorb (shrink) almost immediately. Within the first year after extraction, you can lose 25% of bone volume. Over several years, this bone loss can become significant enough to prevent implant placement, alter your facial appearance, and make wearing dentures uncomfortable. Bone grafting reverses this process by rebuilding the lost bone. Have Questions? Our team is happy to answer any questions and help you understand your options. [801-437-7701](tel:+18014377701) ## Types of Bone Grafts We Perform Socket preservation grafts are placed immediately after tooth extraction to minimize bone loss. Ridge augmentation grafts rebuild the height and width of the jawbone for implant placement. Sinus lift procedures add bone to the upper jaw when the sinus cavity has expanded into the space where implants are needed. Block grafts address larger areas of bone deficiency. Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Sloan will recommend the appropriate graft type based on your specific anatomy and treatment goals. ## The Bone Grafting Process Bone grafting is typically performed in our office under local anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure involves making a small incision in the gum tissue, placing the graft material, and securing it with a membrane and sutures. Most patients experience mild discomfort for 3–5 days. The graft integrates with your bone over 4–6 months, after which implant placement can proceed. ## Why Choose Riverwoods? Enables implant placement after bone loss Prevents facial collapse from tooth loss Minimally invasive techniques Multiple graft options available IV sedation for comfort Board-certified surgeons Precise 3D imaging and planning Long-term implant success ## Frequently Asked Questions Does bone grafting hurt? The procedure is done under anesthesia so you won't feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescription medication for the first few days. How long does bone graft healing take? Most bone grafts require 4–6 months to fully integrate before implant placement. Socket preservation grafts may allow implant placement in as little as 3 months. What types of bone graft material are used? We use autograft (your own bone), allograft (donor bone from a bone bank), xenograft (bovine-derived), and synthetic materials. The best option depends on your specific case and will be discussed at your consultation. Can I get a bone graft and implant at the same time? In some cases, yes. If there is adequate bone remaining after extraction, we can sometimes place the implant and graft simultaneously. Your surgeon will determine the best approach after reviewing your imaging. ### Schedule a Consultation We respond within 1 business day Service of Interest Wisdom Teeth Removal Dental Implants Bone Grafting Corrective Jaw Surgery Facial Trauma / Reconstruction Sleep Apnea Surgery TMJ Disorders Facial Cosmetic Surgery Rhinoplasty Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Face & Neck Lift Other / Not Sure Request Appointment or [Call 801-437-7701](tel:+18014377701) By submitting, you agree to be contacted regarding your request. ### Related Services - [Facial Trauma](/facial-trauma-reconstruction) - [Dental Implants](/dental-implants) - [Wisdom Teeth Removal](/wisdom-teeth) - [Oral Surgeon in Provo](/oral-surgeon) ### Serving Utah County - [Bone Grafting — Provo, UT](/provo-oral-surgeon) - [Bone Grafting — Orem, UT](/orem-oral-surgeon) - [Bone Grafting — Pleasant Grove, UT](/pleasant-grove-oral-surgeon) - [Bone Grafting — Springville, UT](/springville-oral-surgeon) Ready to Get Started? ## Schedule Your Consultation Today Riverwoods Oral Surgery serves Provo, Orem, Pleasant Grove, and Springville.
