Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting in Thomson, Singapore

What is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a dental procedure that restores bone density in the jaw where bone has deteriorated or is insufficient. It is often performed prior to dental implant surgery or after tooth loss to prevent further bone resorption. The graft material—either synthetic or natural—encourages your body to regenerate bone in the targeted area, providing long-term structural stability.

Who Might Need Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is suitable for patients who:

• Are preparing for dental implants but lack adequate jawbone

• Have lost bone due to gum disease or infection

• Have experienced facial trauma

• Require a sinus lift for upper jaw implant placement

• Want to preserve bone structure after tooth extraction

Bone grafting not only supports implant success but also maintains the natural contour of your facial structure.

Procedure of Bone Grafting

At Dental Clinic Thomson, the bone grafting procedure is performed with precision and care. Here’s a general overview:

1. Consultation & Diagnostic Imaging – Your dentist will evaluate your oral health using X-rays or CBCT scans to assess bone loss.

2. Treatment Planning – A customised treatment plan will be developed, outlining the type of graft material and surgical technique.

3. Surgical Procedure – Under local anaesthesia or sedation, the area is cleaned and the grafting material is placed where bone regeneration is needed.

4. Healing & Integration – Over the next few months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, forming a strong foundation.

5. Follow-up & Next Steps – Once healed, additional procedures like dental implants can be planned and placed successfully.

The recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of the graft, but most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
