Why Bone Grafting Matters

Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, trauma, or long-term denture wear. Without sufficient bone, functional restorations like dental implants may not be stable or possible. Bone grafting helps rebuild and strengthen the jaw so you can receive stable, long-lasting restorations.

Types & Sources of Bone Graft Material

At Dailley Dental Care, we tailor graft options to your needs. Common graft sources include:
  • Autograft: Your own bone (often from chin or jaw) — best for integration and no rejection risk.
  • Allograft: Donor human bone from a tissue bank (processed and safe for use).
  • Xenograft: Animal-derived bone (e.g. bovine) used as a scaffold for growth.
  • Alloplast: Synthetic materials like hydroxyapatite or bioactive glass that act as bone scaffolds.
We choose the optimal graft type based on your oral health, volume needed, and healing factors.

Our Bone Grafting Process

Dr. Nguyen ensures your grafting is precise, comfortable, and predictable:

  • Consultation & Imaging: Cone-beam CT scans and bone measurements guide planning.
  • Site Preparation: Clean tissue, manage infection if present, and expose the graft site.
  • Graft Placement: Grafting material is placed and shaped; barrier membranes may be used. ([turn0search8]
  • Stabilization & Suturing: The graft is secured, and tissues are sutured for proper healing coverage.
  • Healing & Integration: Over several months, your natural bone grows into the scaffold to form stable bone.
  • Follow-Up & Restoration: After healing, restoration (implant, crown, denture) is done using the regenerated bone.

Benefits & What to Expect

  • Rebuilds jaw shape and volume lost to tooth extraction or disease
  • Enables placement of dental implants where bone was insufficient
  • Supports facial aesthetics and prevents sunken look
  • Provides long-term foundation for fixed restorations
