What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds lost or insufficient jawbone by placing grafting material into the affected area, encouraging the body to generate new, healthy bone over time. It is most commonly performed to prepare the jaw for dental implants or to address bone loss caused by tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia uses CBCT imaging to assess bone density and volume with precision before recommending treatment. Bone grafting in Redlands, CA, is a foundational procedure that makes more advanced restorative work possible for patients who might otherwise not be candidates.

The Benefits of Dental Bone Grafting

Implant Eligibility

Grafting restores the bone volume required to place and support a dental implant successfully.

Preserves Facial Structure

Rebuilding lost bone prevents the facial changes and sunken appearance that accompany jawbone deterioration.

Stops Further Loss

Grafting halts the progression of bone loss and stabilizes the jaw before more damage occurs.

Supports Neighboring Teeth

Restoring bone in a compromised area helps protect the stability of surrounding natural teeth.

Long-Term Investment

A successful graft creates a durable foundation that supports decades of restored oral function.

Expands Treatment Options

Patients who were previously not candidates for implants or other restorations may qualify after a successful graft.

Signs You May Need Dental Bone Grafting

If any of the following apply to your situation, bone grafting in Redlands, CA, may be a necessary step in your treatment plan.

  • Dental Implant Planning: Your jawbone lacks the density or volume needed to securely support an implant without additional preparation first.

  • Long-Term Tooth Loss: A tooth has been missing for an extended period, and the surrounding bone has already begun to deteriorate.

  • Advanced Gum Disease: Significant periodontal bone loss has weakened the jaw and compromised the stability of surrounding teeth.

  • Tooth Extraction Site: A tooth was recently removed, and the socket needs to be preserved to maintain bone volume for future restoration.

  • Facial Bone Loss: Visible changes in your facial structure or a sunken appearance suggest meaningful jawbone deterioration has occurred.

  • Dental Trauma: An injury to the jaw has resulted in bone damage that needs to be repaired before further treatment can proceed.

  • I visited this Nomi Lee Dental Office for dental work since December 2, 2022. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Natalie was doing a great job in deep cleaning. My whole teeth was very clean and pain free. Dr. Tarr was doing my extraction and bone graft. The procedure was performed perfectly and pain free. I am so satisfied and happy with my dental work . I highly recommended this dental clinic.

  • ★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

  • I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

  • Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏
