Bone Grafting

Clearwater Dreams Dental

Rebuild Your Foundation for a Stronger Smile

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone often begins to deteriorate or “shrink” over time. A bone graft is a safe and highly effective procedure that replaces missing bone density, rebuilding the natural contours of your jaw.

At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we use bone grafting primarily to create a solid foundation for dental implants. Whether you need to preserve a socket immediately after an extraction or restore bone lost years ago, our advanced techniques ensure your jaw is strong enough to support your new smile.

Key Benefits & Uses

Implant Preparation

The most common reason for grafting. It ensures there is enough bone width and height to securely anchor a dental implant.

Socket Preservation

Performed immediately after a tooth extraction. We place bone material in the empty socket to prevent the jawbone from collapsing while it heals.

Sinus Lifts

A specialized graft for the upper jaw. It adds bone height near the sinuses, making it safe to place implants in the back of your mouth.

Prevent Facial Collapse

Losing jawbone can make your face look older or “sunken.” Grafting preserves your facial structure and youthful appearance.

Biocompatible Materials

We use safe, medical-grade bone grafting materials (synthetic or sterile donor bone) that encourage your body to regenerate its own tissue

Gentle Procedure

While it sounds complex, bone grafting is a routine, minor surgical procedure often done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a bone graft hurt?
Most patients report very little pain. The procedure is done under anesthesia, and recovery is similar to a tooth extraction. We provide medication to manage any post-op discomfort.
Where does the bone come from?
We typically use processed, sterilized bone minerals (from a bottle) that act as a scaffold. You rarely need bone taken from your own body, making the recovery much faster.
How long does it take to heal?
It takes time for your body to build new bone. Typical healing time is between 3 to 6 months before the area is ready to support a dental implant.
Is a bone graft always necessary for implants?
Not always, but very often. If a tooth has been missing for a while, bone loss has likely occurred. A graft ensures your expensive implant doesn't fail due to lack of support.
