What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a dental procedure that helps restore lost bone in the jaw. Over time, missing teeth, gum disease, or injuries can cause bone loss, making it difficult to support implants or dentures. A bone graft uses natural or synthetic bone material to rebuild the jaw’s structure and encourage new bone growth.
At Golden Mile Dental, our gentle and skilled dentists use advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable, safe, and effective treatment experience.

Bone Grafting Recovery and Maintenance
Healing from bone grafting is a gradual process that requires care and patience. While the initial recovery takes just a few days, full bone integration may take several months. Here’s how you can support your long-term healing and maintain strong bone health.
- Follow a soft diet
Stick to soft foods like soups, yogurt, and smoothies during the first few days to avoid pressure on the treated area. - Maintain good oral hygiene
Brush gently and rinse with a saltwater or prescribed mouthwash to keep the area clean and infection-free. - Avoid smoking and alcohol
Smoking and alcohol can delay healing and reduce blood flow to your gums and bone tissue. - Attend follow-up appointments
Regular checkups help your dentist monitor bone healing and ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
5. Protect your oral health
After the graft has healed, maintaining your oral hygiene routine, including regular cleanings, helps preserve the new bone and prevent further bone loss.

What Clients Say about Invisalign Scarborough
Bone Grafting FAQ
Is bone grafting painful?
No. Local anesthesia is applied during the procedure and most patients only feel mild discomfort afterward, easily managed with medication.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing usually takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the size of the graft and your overall health.
Can I get dental implants immediately after bone grafting?
Sometimes, yes, but in most cases, your dentist will wait for the graft to fully heal before placing implants.
Is bone grafting safe?
Absolutely. Bone grafting is a common and safe procedure performed using sterile, biocompatible materials.
How do I know if I need a bone graft?
If you’ve had missing teeth for a long time or have been told your jawbone isn’t thick enough for implants, a bone graft may be recommended.
