What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds volume and density to areas of the jaw where bone has been lost. It’s commonly performed before or during dental implant placement, or after tooth extractions to preserve the socket for future restoration.

Bone loss can occur due to periodontal disease, trauma, or simply time without teeth. A bone graft helps regenerate the area using your own bone, donor tissue, or biocompatible materials.

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

Dr. Khuu begins with a digital CBCT scan and Exocad planning to assess bone structure in three dimensions. Based on your needs, he selects the graft material best suited to your case—such as particulate bone, membrane-supported grafts, or socket preservation techniques.

Grafting may be done in combination with extractions, or a few months before implant supported dentures or All-on-4 placement. The healing period allows the graft to integrate with your natural bone, creating a stable and lasting foundation for future treatment.

His facility is extremely clean, organized, and state of the art. My regular dental office couldn't perform the complicated tooth extraction I needed done so I was sent here and he was able to do it.
