Rebuilding Your Foundation Dental Bone Grafts in Kolkata

Tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma can weaken your jawbone over time, creating challenges for placing dental implants or even wearing dentures comfortably. At Smile For All Dental Clinic, Kolkata, we provide dental bone grafting as a trusted solution to restore jawbone volume and density, ensuring a healthy and stable foundation for your future smile.

 

Performed by experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons, our bone graft procedures are safe, precise, and essential for successful restorative treatments like dental implants.

What Is a Dental Bone Graft?

A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that rebuilds areas of lost or weakened jawbone using natural or synthetic materials. This regenerated bone provides the necessary support for dental implants and prevents further jawbone deterioration.

Why You Might Need a Bone Graft

Bone grafting is commonly recommended in cases of:

  • Tooth Loss

    When a tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath begins to shrink due to lack of stimulation. Grafts restore lost volume so the area can support a dental implant.

  • Gum Disease (Periodontitis)

    Advanced periodontal disease can erode the bone that holds your teeth in place. A graft can stabilize remaining teeth and stop further damage.

  • Facial Trauma or Injury

    Accidents can fracture or destroy jawbone, requiring reconstructive grafting to restore structure and function.

  • Sunken Facial Appearance

    Bone loss can cause facial sagging. Grafts support facial contours, helping you maintain a more youthful appearance.

  • Preparing for Dentures or Implants

    Bone grafting may be needed before implant placement or to improve the fit of full or partial dentures.

Types of Bone Graft Materials We Use

Depending on your condition and needs, our surgeons may recommend:

1

Autograft

Bone harvested from your own body (e.g., chin or hip)

2

Allograft

Sterile bone from a human donor tissue bank

3

Xenograft

Bone from an animal source (usually bovine)

4

Alloplast

Biocompatible synthetic bone material

5

Growth Factors

Proteins like PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) to boost healing

What to Expect During a Bone Graft Procedure

At Smile For All, your dental bone grafting experience is safe, controlled, and fully personalized:

  • 1. Local Anesthesia or Sedation

    We numb the area thoroughly and offer sedation dentistry to ensure maximum comfort.

  • 2. Gum Incision & Bone Placement

    Our surgeon makes a small incision in the gums to access the bone, places the graft material into the affected area, and may add a protective membrane to aid healing.

  • 3. Sutures & Healing

    The site is closed with dissolvable stitches, and healing begins. Full osseous integration (bone fusion) may take several months.

Recovery and Healing

After your bone graft:

  • Expect mild swelling or discomfort for 2–3 days
  • Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the treated area
  • Keep the area clean with gentle rinsing and prescribed antibiotics
  • Healing timelines range from 3 to 6 months depending on graft size and your health

Once healed, you’ll be ready for dental implant surgery or other restorative treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Bone Grafts

Why do I need a bone graft before getting a dental implant?

Dental implants need a strong bone base to stay secure. If you’ve had bone loss due to tooth loss or gum disease, a graft rebuilds the bone so your implant can anchor properly and last long-term.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The area is completely numbed with local anesthesia, and we offer sedation if needed. Most patients feel only mild soreness during the first few days after surgery.

How long does it take to heal?

 Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks, but full bone regeneration takes 3–6 months. Once healed, you’re ready for implant placement or additional restorative procedures.

What is the success rate of dental bone grafts?

Success rates are high—over 90%—especially when paired with proper oral hygiene, regular follow-ups, and a healthy lifestyle.

Can I get a bone graft if I’ve had bone loss for years?

Yes. Bone grafting is often successful even in long-term cases of bone deterioration, though it may require larger grafts or staged procedures. Our team will assess and plan accordingly.
