Bone Grafting in Boston, MA

Advanced procedures to rebuild jawbone structure and create a stable foundation for dental implants.

Bone Grafting to Rebuild and Strengthen the Jaw

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore areas of the jawbone that have weakened or deteriorated due to tooth loss, infection, or injury. When bone volume is reduced, it can make dental implant placement more difficult or even impossible without rebuilding the area first. At Lucca Oral & Facial Surgery, bone grafting procedures are carefully planned using advanced imaging and surgical techniques to restore bone structure and create a stable foundation for future treatment. By strengthening the jawbone, bone grafting helps support long-term oral health and improves the success of dental implants.

“I had an extraction and bone graft done by Dr. Lucca, and it was absolutely pain-free. His calm manner, skill, and focus on patient comfort made what could have been a stressful experience very easy. I highly recommend Dr. Lucca.”

Bone Grafting Procedures We Offer

Advanced techniques to restore bone structure and prepare the jaw for dental implants.

Socket Preservation

Socket preservation is performed after a tooth extraction to protect the surrounding bone. This procedure helps maintain the natural shape of the jaw and prevents bone loss before future implant placement.

Performed immediately after tooth extraction

Helps preserve natural bone volume

Prepares the area for future implants

Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation rebuilds areas of the jaw that have lost bone due to missing teeth or trauma. This procedure restores the width and height of the jawbone so implants can be placed securely.

Restores lost bone structure

Improves support for dental implants

Enhances overall jaw stability

Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)

A sinus lift increases bone height in the upper jaw near the molars and premolars. By gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing grafting material, this procedure creates space for implants in areas with limited bone.

Consultation & 3D Evaluation

Your visit begins with a consultation and advanced imaging to evaluate bone levels in the jaw. This allows Dr. Lucca to determine where bone support is needed and plan the grafting procedure with precision.

Bone Grafting Procedure

During the procedure, grafting material is carefully placed in the area where bone has been lost. This material supports the natural healing process and helps rebuild bone structure.

Healing & Bone Regeneration

Over the following weeks, the implant naturally integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your final restoration.

Preparing for Future Treatment

Once healing is complete, the restored bone can support procedures such as dental implants or other restorative treatments, helping ensure long-term stability and function.

Your comfort and safety are our priority. Dr. Lucca takes the time to thoroughly educate you about each step, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel confident and prepared throughout your implant journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about bone grafting and rebuilding jawbone for dental implants.

  • What is bone grafting?

    Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone has been lost. The grafting material encourages your body to regenerate new bone, restoring strength and structure to the jaw.

  • Why would I need bone grafting?

    Bone grafting is often recommended when the jawbone is not strong enough to support dental implants. Bone loss can occur after tooth loss, gum disease, infection, or trauma.

  • Is bone grafting necessary before dental implants?

    In some cases, yes. Dental implants require a stable foundation in the jawbone. If bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting helps rebuild the area so implants can be placed safely and successfully.

  • What types of bone grafting procedures are available?

    Several types of bone grafting may be used depending on your needs, including socket preservation, ridge augmentation, and sinus lifts. The appropriate procedure is determined during your consultation.

  • How long does it take for a bone graft to heal?

    Healing time varies depending on the size and location of the graft. In many cases, the bone integrates over several months before additional treatment such as dental implants can be placed.

  • Is bone grafting painful?

    Bone grafting is performed with local anesthesia or sedation to keep patients comfortable. Most people experience mild soreness afterward, which typically improves within a few days.

  • How much does bone grafting cost?

    The cost of bone grafting depends on the type of procedure and the amount of bone needed. During your consultation, Dr. Lucca will evaluate your situation and provide a personalized treatment estimate.

  • Can bone grow back after tooth loss?

    In many cases, bone can regenerate with the help of grafting material that supports natural bone growth. Bone grafting encourages the body to rebuild lost bone and restore strength to the jaw.
