Supports Implants
A graft rebuilds lost jawbone to give dental implants the strong, solid foundation they need to succeed.
Have you been told you need a bone graft before your next dental treatment? Bone grafting in Woodland Hills, CA, rebuilds and strengthens your jawbone to prepare it for dental implants and other restorations. At Woodland Hills Family Dentistry, we use precise techniques and quality materials to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Bone grafting is a procedure that adds bone or bone-like material to areas of the jaw that have weakened or lost density. By strengthening and rebuilding the bone, grafting creates the solid foundation needed to support dental implants and other restorations. It also helps preserve your jaw structure and facial appearance, and our team can take X-rays to determine whether your bone needs this extra support.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the graft. Any post-surgery discomfort is usually mild, easily managed with medication, and fades within a few days.
Healing varies by graft size and individual factors, and it typically takes several months for the graft to fully blend with your existing bone. Your dentist will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Dental implants need enough healthy bone to fuse with and stay stable over time. Grafting rebuilds that foundation, increasing the likelihood of successful osseointegration and a long-lasting implant.
