Not enough jawbone for an implant? Bone grafting in Mohali at our clinic at SCO 139, First Floor, Medallion, Sector 68, Mohali rebuilds the bone so that dental implants can be placed safely. Treatment is planned and carried out by oral & maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Gourav Ahuja.
Why Bone Grafting May Be Needed
After a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area slowly shrinks. Gum disease, infections and long-term denture wear can also reduce bone. An implant needs enough bone height and width to be stable, so a graft may be recommended first or at the same time.
Types of Bone Grafting
- Socket preservation – graft material placed right after an extraction to limit bone loss
- Ridge augmentation – rebuilding the width or height of the jaw
- Sinus lift – adding bone in the upper back jaw below the sinus
The graft may use your own bone or safe, specially prepared graft materials.
Planning and Healing
A 3D (CBCT) scan shows exactly how much bone is available. Small grafts can often be done with the implant; larger grafts usually heal for a few months before the implant is placed. Read our detailed guide: Bone Grafting for Dental Implants – When Is It Needed?
Bone Grafting – Frequently Asked Questions
Is bone grafting painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic. Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days is usual and is managed with medicines.
How long before I can get my implant?
It depends on the size of the graft – from the same day for small grafts to a few months for larger ones.
Does everyone need a bone graft for an implant?
No. Many patients have enough bone. The scan at your consultation will show whether you need one.
