Dental Bone Grafting in Los Angeles, CA
At Solace Dentistry in Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Sahar Moeini provides dental bone grafting to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone volume has been lost or is insufficient to support future treatment. Bone loss can occur following tooth loss, gum disease, infection, or dental trauma. A bone graft places grafting material in the affected area to support the body’s natural bone-healing process and help create a stronger foundation. Bone grafting may be recommended after an extraction, before dental implant treatment, or as part of a personalized restorative plan based on your oral health and jawbone structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft is a procedure that places bone grafting material in an area of the jaw with insufficient bone. The material provides a framework that supports new bone formation as the area heals.
Why might I need a bone graft?
Bone grafting may be recommended when bone has been lost because of missing teeth, periodontal disease, infection, or trauma. It may also be used to preserve bone after an extraction or prepare an area for a dental implant.
Do I need a bone graft before getting a dental implant?
Not every dental implant patient needs bone grafting. Dr. Sahar Moeini will evaluate the available bone and surrounding oral structures to determine whether grafting is necessary before or in conjunction with implant treatment.
Is dental bone grafting painful?
Local anesthesia is typically used to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. Temporary soreness, swelling, or tenderness can occur during healing, and your dental team will provide instructions for managing your recovery.
How long does a dental bone graft take to heal?
Healing time varies depending on the location and size of the graft, the type of grafting procedure, and individual healing factors. The graft may require several months to develop sufficient bone before certain restorative treatments can proceed.
