Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting – Restoring Jawbone Strength for Dental Implants

Bone loss in the jaw can occur when a missing tooth is left untreated, leading to changes in facial structure and complications with future dental treatments. At Pacific Dental Group in Montebello, we offer bone grafting procedures to restore lost bone, strengthen the jaw, and create a stable foundation for dental implants.

Why is Bone Grafting Necessary?

When a tooth is missing for an extended period, the surrounding jawbone begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. This bone loss can:

  • Weaken the jaw and affect facial appearance
  • Make it difficult or impossible to place dental implants
  • Cause shifting of remaining teeth
  • Increase the risk of additional tooth loss

Bone grafting helps regenerate lost bone, improving both function and aesthetics while ensuring a strong base for future restorations.

How Bone Grafting Works

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces lost bone tissue with either natural bone from the patient or biocompatible grafting materials. The procedure includes:

  1. Numbing the area – Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort.
  2. Preparing the site – A small incision is made in the gum to access the affected area.
  3. Placing the bone graft – The new bone material is inserted into the site, stimulating new bone growth.
  4. Protecting the graft – A special membrane may be placed to protect against bacteria and aid healing.
  5. Closing the incision – The gum is sutured, and the healing process begins.

Healing and Implant Preparation

Bone grafts require several months to fully integrate with the existing jawbone. Once healed, the area will be strong enough to support a dental implant or other restorative treatments. Our team will provide post-surgical care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

  • Strengthens the jaw for dental implant placement
  • Prevents further bone deterioration and tooth shifting
  • Restores facial structure and support
  • Improves overall oral function and aesthetics

Thank you guys for the awesome experience with all my visits. See your guys soon."”

“"Great Dentist, Great Staff. At 57 years-old, I've had several root canals, crowns, bridges, fillings, and extractions from many dentists, some who even advertise on radio. Having tooth-pain and not willing to wait 3 weeks for my regular dentist, I went to Dr. Julius in Montebello. I got an appointment the next day and two days later had major dental work on several of my teeth. (I just got home.) I had work done by Dr. Julius and 2 other dental specialists, also dealing with 2 other people of the excellent office staff there. Dentistry is both a preffession and a busines. Or is going to a restaurant only about the chef, and not the service? They didn't serve me food. They took care of my sh*t. Each and every one of them, all seeking the same outcome: to help me. Dr. Julius could advertise on radio, with higher prices. Maybe even on TV. I watched the finals of 'America's Got Talent' last night. Unfortunately, there were no dental offices on display. When it comes to dentistry and my teeth, I know talent. I watched the winners today."”

I'll be staying for all my future dental visits and I can't wait to see how my new smile turns out. I really recommend this place to anybody who is a first time patients. Excellent service and reasonable prices, and cleans establishment, very professional but friendly as well."”

“"It's weird to say I loved getting the screws put to my teeth, but as far as dentists go, these guys are some of the best I've ever been to. Friendly staff as well. I recommend going to them if you're in the area and looking for some dental health care goodness."”

Josh P.

“"High Quality, Professional, Trustworthy. Going to the dentist usually makes people nervous, but the atmosphere here is so lighthearted and relaxing. You're definitely in good hands and won't have to worry about anything. Dr. Julius is very interactive, kind, and mindful of your comfort level at all times and it's so relieving to know that she knows what she's doing. My best dental experience by far :)"”
