Strengthening Your Jaw for Long Term Dental Health
Healthy jawbone structure is essential for maintaining a strong, functional smile—especially when planning for dental implants. At Scottsdale Elite Dentistry, we offer Bone Grafting procedures to rebuild and strengthen areas of the jaw that have experienced bone loss. Bone grafting helps restore proper support for teeth and implants while protecting long-term oral health.
With modern techniques and careful planning, bone grafting is a predictable and comfortable procedure that makes advanced dental treatments possible.

What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces or regenerates bone in areas where it has been lost. Bone loss can occur for many reasons, including tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or long-term denture use.
During bone grafting, specialized grafting material is placed in the affected area to stimulate natural bone regeneration. Over time, the graft integrates with your existing bone, creating a strong foundation for future dental treatment.
Why Is Bone Grafting Needed?
Bone grafting is commonly recommended to:
- Prepare the jaw for dental implants
- Restore bone lost after tooth extraction
- Support long-term oral health
- Improve facial structure and stability
- Prevent further bone deterioration
Without sufficient bone density, dental implants may not be possible. Bone grafting helps restore the necessary support for successful implant placement.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures
At Scottsdale Elite Dentistry, bone grafting treatment is customized based on your needs.
Socket Preservation
Performed immediately after tooth extraction, socket preservation helps prevent bone loss and maintains the shape of the jaw for future implants.
Ridge Augmentation
This procedure rebuilds bone in areas where the jaw ridge has deteriorated due to missing teeth or trauma.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw beneath the sinus cavity, often necessary before placing implants in the back upper teeth.
Your dentist will determine the appropriate grafting technique based on your anatomy and treatment goals.
What to Expect During Bone Grafting
We prioritize comfort, safety, and clear communication throughout the process.
Consultation & Planning
A thorough evaluation using digital imaging allows us to assess bone levels and plan precise treatment.
Bone Graft Placement
The grafting material is placed in the targeted area using gentle, controlled techniques. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available for comfort.
Healing & Regeneration
Over the next several months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong foundation for future treatment.
Follow-Up & Next Steps
Once healing is complete, we evaluate readiness for dental implants or other restorative procedures.
Is Bone Grafting Painful?
Bone grafting is typically well-tolerated. Patients may experience mild swelling or soreness after the procedure, which can usually be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and comfort.

Bone Grafting and Dental Implants
Bone grafting plays a critical role in implant success. By restoring bone density, grafting ensures implants have the stability needed for long-term success and natural function.
In many cases, bone grafting allows patients who were previously told they were not implant candidates to move forward with treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for successful healing. We recommend:
- Avoiding pressure on the grafted area
- Eating soft foods during early healing
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene
- Attending follow-up appointments
- Avoiding smoking during healing
Our team will guide you every step of the way.
