What are Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting bone tissue to repair and rebuild damaged or insufficient bone in the jaw. This technique is commonly used in dentistry to increase bone volume and density before dental implant placement, as adequate jawbone structure is essential for successful implantation. During the procedure, bone grafting material—which may be sourced from the patient's own body, human donors, animals, or synthetic materials—is added to the deficient area, stimulating natural bone regeneration over time. The healing process typically takes several weeks to months, depending on the extent of the graft, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort during recovery when following proper post-operative care.

  2. Preparation of the graft site: Our surgeon carefully prepares the area where the bone graft will be placed, ensuring a clean and sterile environment.

Step 4

Post Bone Grafting Treatment Care at London Dental Specialists



Proper aftercare is essential for successful bone graft healing following your procedure at London Dental Specialists. Our comprehensive post-treatment care ensures optimal recovery and integration of your bone graft, setting the foundation for future dental work.



During the initial 24-48 hours after your bone grafting procedure, you should:




  • Apply ice packs to the outside of your face in 20-minute intervals to reduce swelling

  • Take prescribed pain medication as directed to manage discomfort

  • Rest and avoid strenuous activities that could disturb the surgical site

  • Maintain a soft food diet to prevent pressure on the grafted area



Our dental team will provide you with detailed oral hygiene instructions specific to your case. Typically, these include:




















Timeframe Recommended Care
First 24 hours Avoid rinsing, spitting, or touching the graft site
Days 2-7 Gentle rinsing with prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash
Week 2 onwards Careful brushing around the surgical area as directed


Your healing timeline will vary based on the type and extent of your bone graft:




  • Initial healing: 2 weeks for soft tissue recovery

  • Bone integration: 3-6 months for complete bone regeneration

  • Final maturation: Up to 9 months before implant placement (if applicable)



Throughout your recovery, London Dental Specialists will schedule regular follow-up appointments to:




  • Monitor healing progress through clinical examinations

  • Assess bone integration with advanced imaging when appropriate

  • Address any concerns or complications promptly

  • Adjust your care plan if necessary



We recommend avoiding these activities during your recovery period:




  • Smoking or using tobacco products (significantly impairs healing)

  • Vigorous exercise for at least 3-5 days post-procedure



At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to supporting you throughout your entire bone grafting process. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance as you progress toward complete healing and your next treatment phase.

Conditions We Treat With Bone Grafting

Our Mitcham practice uses Bone Grafting to address conditions where this treatment has demonstrated effectiveness. We evaluate each patient's condition to ensure Bone Grafting is the most appropriate option available. Call +44 7700 100779 to discuss whether your condition can be treated with Bone Grafting.


  • Insufficient Jawbone for Dental Implants - Bone grafting increases the volume and density of your jawbone to provide adequate support for dental implants, ensuring successful osseointegration.

  • Bone Loss Due to Tooth Extraction - Following tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge can deteriorate. Bone grafting preserves the socket and maintains bone structure for future dental restorations.

  • Periodontal Disease Damage - Advanced gum disease can destroy supporting bone tissue. Grafting procedures help regenerate lost bone and improve dental health.

  • Facial Trauma or Injury - Bone grafting repairs and reconstructs jawbone damaged by accidents or injuries, restoring both function and aesthetics.

  • Congenital Bone Defects - We treat developmental issues affecting jawbone formation through targeted bone augmentation techniques.

  • Sinus Cavity Limitations - Sinus lift procedures (a specialised form of bone grafting) add bone to the upper jaw in the molar and premolar areas where the sinus cavity may limit implant placement.

  • Bone Resorption from Long-term Denture Use - Prolonged denture wearing can lead to significant bone loss. Grafting restores jaw density to support more stable tooth replacement options.

  • Failed Dental Implants - When implants fail due to bone-related issues, grafting can rebuild the foundation for a second attempt at implant placement.

  • Aesthetic Concerns - Bone grafting can improve facial contours affected by bone loss, enhancing overall appearance alongside dental function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is dental bone grafting?


Dental bone grafting at London Dental Specialists is a relatively minor procedure with minimal discomfort. Most of our patients report little to no pain during recovery. Our specialists use advanced techniques and appropriate anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Following your post-operative instructions carefully and taking prescribed medications as directed will help manage any discomfort effectively. We provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth recovery experience.



How long does it take for new bone to grow after a bone graft?


After a bone grafting procedure at London Dental Specialists, the graft material gradually integrates with your existing bone tissue. This fusion process typically takes between several weeks to 6 months, depending on the specific case. The healing timeline varies based on factors such as the size and location of the graft, your overall health, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Our specialists monitor your healing progress through follow-up appointments to ensure optimal bone regeneration.



What is the recovery time for dental bone grafting?


Recovery from dental bone grafting at London Dental Specialists typically involves an initial healing period of 2 weeks to 3 months for soft tissue recovery. The complete integration of the bone graft itself generally takes 3 to 6 months. During the first week, you may experience some swelling and minor discomfort. We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activities for several weeks and following our detailed aftercare instructions. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your healing progress effectively.



What are the costs of bone grafting at London Dental Specialists?


The cost of bone grafting at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the type of graft material used and the complexity of your case. Typical price ranges are:



  • Allograft (human donor bone): £400 to £1,200

  • Xenograft (animal donor bone): £400 to £1,200

  • Alloplast (synthetic bone materials): £400 to £1,200

  • Autograft (using your own bone): £2,000 to £3,000


We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation.



Why might I need a dental bone graft?


You might need a dental bone graft at London Dental Specialists if you have insufficient bone volume or density in your jaw. Common reasons include:



  • Preparation for dental implant placement

  • Bone loss following tooth extraction

  • Advanced periodontal disease causing bone deterioration

  • Trauma or injury to the jaw

  • Congenital bone defects

  • Restoration of facial structure and aesthetics


Our specialists conduct thorough examinations to determine if bone grafting is necessary for your specific situation.



What types of bone grafting materials do you use?


At London Dental Specialists, we use several types of bone grafting materials, each selected based on your specific clinical needs:



  • Autografts: Bone harvested from your own body, typically from the chin, jaw, hip, or shin

  • Allografts: Processed bone from human donors, carefully screened and sterilised

  • Xenografts: Bone derived from animal sources, most commonly bovine

  • Alloplasts: Synthetic bone substitutes made from biocompatible materials


Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate option for your case during your consultation.



What is the success rate of dental bone grafting?


Dental bone grafting at London Dental Specialists has a high success rate of approximately 90-95%. Success depends on several factors including your overall health, the location and size of the graft, adherence to aftercare instructions, and lifestyle factors such as smoking. Our experienced specialists use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to maximise success rates. We carefully assess each patient's suitability for bone grafting and provide personalised care throughout the treatment process to ensure optimal outcomes.



Can I get dental implants immediately after a bone graft?


In most cases at London Dental Specialists, we recommend waiting until the bone graft has fully integrated before placing dental implants, which typically takes 3-6 months. However, in some specific situations where there is sufficient primary stability, we may be able to place implants simultaneously with the bone graft or after a shorter healing period. This decision is made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough assessment of your bone quality, overall oral health, and specific clinical requirements. Our specialists will create a personalised treatment timeline during your consultation.



What should I expect during the bone grafting procedure?


During a bone grafting procedure at London Dental Specialists, you can expect:



  1. Administration of local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort

  2. Careful preparation of the recipient site

  3. Precise placement of the bone grafting material

  4. Securing the graft with specialised membranes or fixation techniques if necessary

  5. Suturing of the gum tissue over the graft site


The procedure typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on complexity. Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative instructions and ensures you're comfortable throughout the process. Most patients can return home the same day with detailed aftercare guidelines.
