Bone Grafting in Hawthorne, CA

Strengthening Your Smile for Future Restorations

At Schnierow Dental Care, we believe every patient deserves the opportunity to restore their smile with confidence. Bone grafting is a specialized procedure that rebuilds jawbone tissue lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. By restoring bone density, bone grafting makes it possible to receive life-changing treatments such as dental implants and All-on-X dental implants.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical technique where new bone material is placed in areas of the jaw that have thinned or deteriorated. This graft stimulates natural bone growth and provides the stability needed for restorative treatments.

Reasons patients may need bone grafting include:

  • Tooth loss leading to jawbone shrinkage
  • Periodontal (gum) disease damaging bone structure
  • Trauma or injury to the jaw
  • Long-term denture use causing resorption
  • Preparing the mouth for ridge augmentation or full arch solutions

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

At our practice, bone grafting treatments are fully customized. Options may include:

  1. Socket Preservation – Performed after a tooth extraction to protect the empty socket and maintain bone structure.
  2. Sinus Lift – Adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars and premolars, creating space for implants.
  3. Block Grafting – Uses a section of bone to rebuild larger areas of the jaw.
  4. Guided Bone Regeneration – Involves specialized membranes that encourage natural bone healing and growth.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is more than preparation for implants—it protects your long-term oral health. Advantages include:

  • Restoring lost facial structure and preventing sagging
  • Providing a stable foundation for implant-supported dentures and other implant restorations
  • Preventing further bone loss after extractions
  • Enhancing the success and longevity of dental implants
  • Improving overall bite function and smile aesthetics

Bone Grafting FAQs

Answer text goes here

Is bone grafting painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it comfortable. Most patients report only minor soreness afterward.

How long does recovery take?

Initial healing usually takes a few weeks, but full integration of the graft may take several months before implants can be placed.

Where does the bone graft material come from?

Grafts can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials designed to promote bone growth.

Do I always need bone grafting before implants?

Not always. If your jawbone is already strong enough, implants can be placed without grafting. Our dentists will determine this during your consultation.

Can bone grafting be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Bone grafting often works hand-in-hand with oral surgery and implant procedures to achieve the best results.
