Dental Bone Graft
A dental bone graft is a specialized surgical procedure that restores or enhances the jawbone when it has lost its density or volume. At Tadawi Medical Center in Qatar, our expert oral surgeons use advanced bone grafting techniques to prepare your mouth for successful dental implants or to restore oral health after bone loss.
What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft is a procedure where natural or synthetic bone material is placed in the jaw to:
- Replace bone loss due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma.
- Provide a strong foundation for dental implants.
- Support facial structure and prevent changes caused by bone loss.
What conditions are managed with a dental bone graft?
Bone grafting is recommended in cases such as:
- Severe bone loss and resorption after Tooth extraction.
- Gum disease leading to bone resorption
- Injury or trauma to the jawbone.
- Preparing the jaw for dental implants.
- Maintaining jaw strength after multiple extractions.
What happens during a dental bone grafting procedure?
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia for patient comfort:
- The gum is gently opened to expose the affected bone.
- Bone graft material (from your body, or synthetic source) is placed.
- The area is covered with a membrane to support healing.
- The gum tissue is sutured back in place.
Healing usually takes 3–6 months, during which the graft integrates with the natural bone.
How painful is a dental bone graft?
The procedure itself is painless thanks to anesthesia.
Post-surgery, patients may experience:
- Mild swelling.
- Temporary soreness.
- Discomfort for 2–3 days, manageable with prescribed medication.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days.
