Rebuilding jawbone that has thinned after a missing tooth, planned with CBCT imaging as part of an implant treatment plan.
What Is Dental Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost, so there is enough solid foundation to hold a dental implant. Grafting material is placed where the bone is thin or missing, and over the following months your body replaces it with your own new bone. It is one of the most common ways to make implants possible when bone has shrunk. Bone is usually lost for a simple reason: once a tooth is gone, the bone that held it is no longer stimulated and begins to shrink. The longer a tooth has been missing, the more bone tends to disappear. Rather than being told there is nothing to anchor an implant to, you get the foundation rebuilt first. Pricing depends on how much bone needs to be built and is confirmed after your consultation and scan.

What Grafting Adds
Grafting is rarely something you budget for on its own. It is the groundwork that gives an implant something solid to hold.
A small socket graft and a larger ridge rebuild are different pieces of work. Your figure comes from your CBCT scan, since how much bone is missing decides what is involved.

Why Choose Restore for Bone Grafting
Many practices place implants but send grafting out to a specialist, splitting your treatment across two offices and two fees. Restore does the grafting, the implant, and the final tooth in one place, with one team who planned the whole thing from your first scan. Bone loss rarely means being turned away here; it means one more step, handled under the same roof.
Bone grafting is planned around the implant site and your restorative goals, with the treatment sequence reviewed before care begins.
Graft and implant planned together from a single 3D scan.
One team accountable from the graft through to your final tooth.
A board-certified implant dentist who performs the procedure personally.
Pricing depends on how much bone needs to be built and whether an implant is placed at the same time, so it is confirmed after your consultation and scan rather than quoted as a single figure. You leave with an itemized plan.
An implant needs enough solid bone to anchor into. Where a tooth has been missing for a while, the bone often shrinks below what an implant requires, and grafting rebuilds it to the volume needed.
Grafting materials vary, and we go through the options with you at your consultation. Whichever is used, it acts as a scaffold that your own body gradually replaces with living bone.
Most people find the procedure more comfortable than expected. It is performed with appropriate anesthesia, and depending on your needs, health history, and procedure, sedation options may include Oral Sedation, IV Sedation, or General Anesthesia. Some swelling and soreness afterward is normal and usually improves over the following days.
Sometimes. If enough bone remains to hold the implant steady, grafting and placement can happen together. If the deficiency is larger, the graft heals first and the implant follows. Your scan decides which path fits.
Most grafts take several months to mature into solid bone before an implant can be placed into them. Smaller grafts done alongside an implant may heal in less time. Your plan sets the timeline.
Expect some swelling and mild soreness for a few days, managed with standard care and simple aftercare instructions. Most people return to normal activity within a day or two.
We work with many dental insurance plans and can verify your benefits, estimate what your plan may contribute, and help you understand anticipated out-of-pocket costs. Coverage varies by plan, but insurance may contribute toward bone grafting or related procedures. Any remaining balance can often be combined with flexible financing options.
