At 6006 Yonge Dental, we are proud to offer dental bone grafts to ensure a successful dental implant procedure. A bone graft is a simple and effective procedure that adds bone to your jaw. This is important for supporting dental implants, especially if you have lost bone due to injury or dental issues. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand what to expect.
Often, a bone graft is done to prepare your jaw for a dental implant, ensuring there’s enough strong bone to support the new tooth.
What Is a Dental Bone Graft?
A dental bone graft is a procedure that adds bone material to your jaw. It is often needed when there is not enough bone to support dental implants or to restore the shape of the jaw after tooth loss.
During the procedure, your dentist will place bone material in the area where bone is missing. This material can come from different sources, such as your own body, a donor, or a synthetic material. Over time, your body will gradually replace this material with your own bone, helping to strengthen your jaw and prepare it for dental implants or other treatments.
Our dentists at 6006 Yonge Dental can provide more information and help you decide the best treatment for your needs.

Types of Bone Grafts for Dental Implants
Autograft
This type uses bone taken from your own body, usually from the jaw, chin, or hip. Autografts are highly effective because they contain living cells that promote healing and bone growth.
Allograft
Allografts use bone from a deceased donor, which is processed and sterilized for safety. This type of graft can be an excellent option if there is not enough bone available from your own body.
Xenograft
A xenograft is made from bone harvested from another species, commonly cows. This material is also processed and sterilized to ensure safety. It provides a scaffold for your body to grow new bone.
Alloplast
Alloplasts are synthetic materials that mimic the properties of natural bone. They can be made from materials like calcium phosphate or bioglass. Alloplasts provide a stable framework for bone growth and are biocompatible.
Composite Graft
A composite graft combines different types of graft materials, such as an allograft with a synthetic material. This can enhance bone regeneration and improve the success of dental implants.

The Process of Dental Bone Graft Services
Preparation
On the day of the procedure, you may receive sedation or local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. If an autograft is needed, the dentist will take a small amount of bone from another area of your body, such as your chin or hip.
Bone Grafting Procedure
The dentist will make a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the jawbone. They will then place the bone graft material in the area where the bone is needed. This material can be any type of bone graft. After that, the dentist may use membranes or stitches to cover it.
Recovery
Once the graft is in place, the dentist will close the incision with sutures. Recovery time varies, but it usually takes several months for the graft to integrate with the existing bone and for new bone to form. During this time, you may need to follow specific care instructions to ensure proper healing..
How Much Does Dental Bone Graft Cost?
The cost of a dental bone graft depends mainly on the type of graft and other factors, such as the complexity of the procedure and the amount of bone required. During your consultation at 6006 Yonge Dental, we will provide a detailed treatment plan, including the costs involved, and discuss payment options to help make your treatment as affordable as possible.

FAQs Answered by Top-Notch Bone Graft Doctors!
How long does it take for a bone graft to heal before getting an implant?
Healing time for a bone graft can vary depending on several factors, including the type of graft used and your overall health. Typically, it takes about 3 to 6 months for the bone graft to heal sufficiently before dental implants can be placed.
Is bone grafting painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the bone grafting procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and any pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How do I know if my bone graft is healing properly?
Keep an eye on these signs:
- Reduced pain and swelling,
- Improved ability to bite and chew,
- No signs of infection (such as fever or unusual discharge).
If you have any concerns during your recovery, be sure to contact your dentist for guidance.
