At Foundation Dental Specialists, we understand that losing a tooth can have significant consequences for your oral health.
Synthetic bone grafting is a dental procedure used to restore bone volume and strength in areas where bone loss has occurred. In dentistry, it is most commonly performed to prepare the jaw for dental implant placement when natural bone is no longer sufficient.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to shrink due to lack of stimulation. Synthetic bone graft materials are biocompatible and encourage the body to regenerate natural bone over time. This process creates a stable, durable foundation that allows dental implants to be placed securely and function like natural teeth.
Many patients are surprised to learn that bone loss can begin shortly after a tooth is lost. You may be an ideal candidate for bone grafting if you have experienced:

The length of time required to perform a bone graft can vary depending on several factors. Where the graft is taking place, the size of the graft, and the type of material used can all impact the duration of your procedure.
Your oral surgeon will provide you with a thorough explanation of the treatment, and give you information about what to expect on the day of the procedure and how to properly prepare for it.
Bone grafts may be covered in part by your insurance provider depending on your particular plan and scope of coverage. Talk to your dental insurance providers about your benefits to find out if your recommended oral surgery will be covered.
There are three main types of bone grafts: allografts, autografts, and synthetic bone grafts.
Allografts utilize tissue from a donor to replace missing bone. Certain measures are taken to ensure successful osseointegration. These are the most common material used for bone grafting in our practice.
A xenograft is a type of bone graft that comes from an animal donor, most commonly from a bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) source. Bovine bone is very commonly used in sinus grafting as it provides very good dimensional stability over time.
There are a wide range of biocompatible materials that can be used in place of donor tissue. Synthetic bone grafts offer a degree of flexibility when it comes to treatment, and is the best option for certain patients.
