What Is Bone Grafting?
When a tooth is lost or removed, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb, shrinking in both height and width. Within the first year of tooth loss, patients can lose up to 25% of surrounding bone volume. Gum disease accelerates this further by actively destroying the bone that anchors teeth.
Bone grafting places bone material from a donor site, a tissue bank, or a synthetic source into the deficient area. Over three to six months, this material integrates with the patient's own bone, rebuilding the ridge into the dense foundation a dental implant requires.
Without sufficient bone, implants cannot be placed. Bone grafting is not a complication. It is a precision step that sets the entire restoration up for long-term success.
At a Glance
- ·Rebuilds jaw volume lost to tooth loss or disease
- ·Required before implant placement in many cases
- ·Uses donor tissue, tissue bank, or synthetic material
- ·Often performed same-day as extraction
- ·3–6 months integration before implant placement
- ·Preserves facial structure and natural contours
Candidacy
Who Needs a Bone Graft?
Insufficient Bone for Implants
The most common reason for bone grafting. If your jaw lacks the height or width to securely anchor an implant post, grafting rebuilds that volume first. Dr. Baradaran evaluates bone density with 3D CBCT imaging at consultation.
Tooth Extraction Sites
When a tooth is removed, immediately grafting the socket prevents the surrounding bone from collapsing. This is the most predictable time to graft, and it simplifies future implant placement considerably.
Ridge Preservation
Patients who are not yet ready for implants but want to keep their options open benefit from immediate ridge preservation at the time of extraction. Waiting months or years without grafting makes later reconstruction far more complex.
Advanced Gum Disease
Severe periodontitis destroys the bone surrounding teeth roots. After gum disease treatment, grafting can restore lost bone around existing teeth, reducing pocket depths and stabilizing teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
Bone Defects Around Implants
Peri-implantitis is a bacterial infection around an existing implant that can cause bone loss around the post. Grafting in this context aims to arrest the defect and preserve the implant long-term.
Not Sure? Imaging Tells the Story
Many patients don't know they need grafting until a CBCT scan reveals the true state of their bone. If you were told you're not a candidate for implants, a second opinion from Dr. Baradaran often reveals grafting options that weren't presented.
The Procedure
What to Expect Step by Step
01
Evaluation & Imaging
CBCT 3D scan maps your existing bone volume. Dr. Baradaran determines graft type, source material, and whether it can be combined with extraction.
02
Local Anesthetic
The procedure is performed under local anesthetic. Sedation is available for patients who prefer it. Most patients are comfortable throughout.
03
Graft Placement
Bone material is placed into the deficient site and covered with a collagen membrane to guide healing. The site is sutured closed and healing begins.
04
Integration Period
Over 3–6 months, the graft material is gradually replaced by your own living bone. A follow-up scan confirms readiness before implant placement.
Expertise
Why Dr. Baradaran
Bone grafting and dental implants are inseparable disciplines. A periodontist who has placed 15,000+ implants understands bone grafting with a precision general dentists cannot match. Every implant outcome depends on the quality of what lies beneath it.
Dr. Baradaran's UCLA training equipped him with surgical mastery over both hard and soft tissue. He treats the gum disease that caused the bone loss, performs the graft, and places the implant. One practice. One specialist. No gaps between providers.
Patients told elsewhere they are not implant candidates often find Dr. Baradaran has a clear path forward. Advanced imaging and 32 years of surgical experience make cases manageable that might seem complex to others.
