Considering bone grafting? You're not alone. Many patients have questions about this vital procedure that helps rebuild jaw bone for dental implants. Bone grafting is a surgical technique that restores bone volume lost through tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma. At London Dental Specialists, we understand your concerns about pain, healing time, and costs. The procedure is typically minimally painful, with most patients reporting little discomfort when following post-operative care instructions. Healing varies from several weeks to months depending on graft size and location. Different graft materials are available, including donor bone, synthetic materials, or your own bone tissue. Each option has specific benefits and recovery timelines. Our specialists provide personalised care throughout your bone regeneration journey, ensuring optimal results for your future dental restoration.
Dental bone grafting at London Dental Specialists is typically a minimally invasive procedure with manageable discomfort. Most patients report little to no pain during recovery. Our specialists provide appropriate pain management medication and detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your comfort. Any mild discomfort usually subsides within a few days following the procedure. We prioritise patient comfort throughout the entire treatment process.
Recovery time after bone grafting at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the size and location of the graft. Initial healing typically takes 2-3 weeks, during which you may experience some swelling and minor discomfort. Complete integration of the bone graft material with your natural bone can take 3-6 months. Our specialists provide comprehensive aftercare to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results.
London Dental Specialists offers several types of bone grafting options:
The cost of bone grafting at London Dental Specialists typically ranges from £400 to £1,200 for allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts. Autografts may cost between £2,000 and £3,000 due to the additional surgical procedure required to harvest your own bone. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation. Various payment options and finance plans are available to help make treatment more accessible.
Bone grafting is often necessary before dental implant placement when there is insufficient bone volume or density in your jaw. This may occur due to:
During a bone grafting procedure at London Dental Specialists, our oral surgeons first administer appropriate anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. They then make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the bone defect area. The grafting material is carefully placed and may be secured with a protective membrane. The site is sutured closed to promote healing. The entire procedure typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on complexity. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to optimise your recovery.
Yes, new bone does grow after a bone graft. The grafting material serves as a scaffold that encourages your body's natural bone formation process. Over time, your body gradually replaces the graft material with your own new bone tissue. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes 3-6 months depending on the graft size, location, and your body's healing capacity. London Dental Specialists uses advanced grafting materials designed to optimise this natural bone regeneration process.
Following bone grafting at London Dental Specialists, proper aftercare includes:
While dental bone grafting at London Dental Specialists is generally safe, as with any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks. These may include infection, bleeding, graft rejection, or nerve damage. However, these complications are rare when performed by our experienced specialists. We thoroughly evaluate your medical history and take all necessary precautions to minimise risks. Following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions significantly reduces the likelihood of complications.
