Dental Bone Grafting in Garden Grove, CA
What is Dental Bone Grafting?
A bone graft is a procedure in which bone material is placed into an area of the jaw where bone has been lost or is insufficient to support a dental implant or maintain proper oral structure. The grafted material — which may come from your own body, a donor source, or a biocompatible synthetic material — integrates with your existing bone over time, stimulating new bone growth and restoring the density and volume needed for stable, lasting dental restorations.
CAll 714-893-2453The Benefits of Dental Bone Grafting
Bone grafting opens the door to restorative options that might otherwise be out of reach and protects the long-term health of your jaw and surrounding teeth.
Restore Implant Candidacy
Rebuilding lost bone creates the strong, stable foundation that dental implants require to integrate successfully and last a lifetime.
Structure Preservation
Jawbone loss following tooth loss causes the face to gradually sink and age — a bone graft helps maintain your natural facial contours and a more youthful appearance.
Bone Loss Prevention
Placing a graft at the time of extraction or shortly after tooth loss helps preserve the existing bone and prevents continued deterioration over time.
Oral Health Support
Adequate bone volume supports neighboring teeth, maintains proper bite alignment, and provides a healthier environment for all surrounding structures.
Our Dental Bone Grafting Process
Here’s what you can expect when you come in for bone grafting at Westgrove Dental Care.
1
Imaging & Consultation
Our team will take detailed CBCT scans to evaluate your existing bone volume and develop a precise, personalized grafting plan tailored to your restoration goals.
2
Site Preparation
The treatment area is thoroughly numbed, and the site is carefully prepared to receive the graft material with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
3
Graft Placement
The bone grafting material is placed into the targeted area and covered with a protective membrane to promote healthy, undisturbed healing and new bone growth.
4
Ongoing Support
Over the following weeks and months, your jaw integrates the graft and builds new bone — our team monitors your progress closely and confirms readiness before moving forward with your next treatment step.
Signs You May Need a Dental Bone Graft
It may be worth scheduling a consultation if any of the following apply to your situation.
Implant Planning
Insufficient bone density or volume at the implant site is one of the most common reasons bone grafting is recommended before implant placement.
Recent Extraction
Having a socket preservation graft placed at the time of extraction significantly reduces bone loss and simplifies future implant treatment.
Long-Term Tooth Loss
Teeth that have been missing for an extended period often leave behind significant bone loss that must be addressed before restoration is possible.
Advanced Gum Disease
Periodontal disease can erode the bone supporting your teeth, and grafting may be recommended to rebuild that support and stabilize remaining teeth.
Bone Loss
Imaging that reveals thinning or deterioration of the jawbone in specific areas may indicate the need for grafting before further dental work.
Ill-Fitting Dentures
Significant bone resorption beneath an existing denture can make it unstable and uncomfortable, and grafting may be part of a longer-term implant-supported solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dental bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report that post-operative discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and the aftercare instructions our team provides.
How long does it take for a bone graft to heal?
Healing timelines vary depending on the size of the graft and the individual patient, but most grafts require three to six months of healing before the site is ready for implant placement. Our team monitors your progress at follow-up appointments and will confirm when your jaw has fully integrated the graft material.
How much does bone grafting cost?
The cost of bone grafting depends on the extent of bone loss, the type of grafting material used, and whether the procedure is performed at the time of extraction or as a standalone treatment. Our team will provide a transparent, detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
Does dental insurance cover bone grafting?
Coverage for bone grafting varies by plan — some PPO dental insurance plans include a benefit toward grafting procedures when they are considered medically necessary as part of implant treatment. Westgrove Dental Care is in-network with most major PPO providers, and our team will carefully review your plan to identify any applicable benefits before your treatment begins.
