What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone by adding natural or synthetic bone material to areas where bone loss has occurred. This stimulates new bone growth, ensuring a solid foundation for dental implants or other restorations.
Bone grafts can be used for:
- Dental Implant Preparation – Ensuring enough bone to support an implant.
- Tooth Extraction Sites – Preserving bone after a tooth is removed.
- Gum Disease Repair – Rebuilding bone lost due to periodontal disease.
- Jawbone Strengthening – Preventing further bone deterioration.
Types of Bone Grafts We Offer
At Killingsworth Family Dentistry, we offer several types of bone grafting procedures, depending on your specific needs:
Socket Preservation
After a tooth extraction, bone grafting material is placed in the socket to preserve bone density and prevent bone loss.
Ridge Augmentation
This procedure rebuilds the natural contour of the jawbone, making it possible to place dental implants or improve denture fit.
Sinus Lift
For patients needing dental implants in the upper jaw, a sinus lift adds bone to the sinus area, creating a stable foundation for implant placement.
Dr. Killingsworth will assess your bone density and oral health to determine the best grafting method for your needs.
Who Needs Bone Grafting?
You may need a bone graft if you:
- Have insufficient bone volume for dental implants
- Experience bone loss due to gum disease or tooth loss
- Want to preserve jawbone structure after a tooth extraction
- Need additional support for dentures or bridges
A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Killingsworth will help determine if bone grafting is the right solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Some mild soreness may occur afterward, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

It typically takes 3–6 months for the graft to fully integrate with your natural bone.
Can I get a dental implant immediately after a bone graft?
In some cases, an implant can be placed at the same time as the bone graft. However, most patients need to wait for full healing before implant placement.
What type of bone material is used for grafting?
