What Is Bone and Gum Grafting?

Bone and gum grafting are two types of regenerative procedures used to rebuild lost oral tissue:

  • Bone Grafting: Restores bone density in the jaw, often necessary after tooth loss or in preparation for dental implants. This procedure uses your own bone, donor tissue, or synthetic materials to encourage new bone growth.
  • Gum Grafting: Treats receding gums by covering exposed roots, reducing sensitivity, and improving your smile. Gum tissue may be taken from the roof of your mouth or sourced from a tissue bank.

These treatments not only enhance your oral health but also prevent further complications, like shifting teeth or jawbone loss.

Why Bone & Gum Grafting May Be Necessary

man looking into hand held mirrorYou may need bone or gum grafting if you experience:

  • Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
  • Bone loss from missing teeth or trauma
  • Gum recession exposing tooth roots
  • Preparation for dental implants or bridges

These procedures help restore the foundation of your smile and protect your long-term oral health.

What to Expect During the Bone and Gum Grafting Procedure

At Dr. Bayette’s San Diego, CA dental office, your comfort and safety are top priorities. Here’s what you can expect during a bone or gum grafting procedure:

Initial Consultation

Dr. Bayette will evaluate your oral health using digital X-rays or 3D imaging to assess bone density, gum recession, and determine the right type of grafting for your needs. He’ll explain the treatment plan in detail, answer your questions, and review sedation options if needed.

Bone Grafting Procedure

For bone grafting, Dr. Bayette will gently numb the area and place bone material—either from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic alternative—into the targeted site. The graft is then secured, sometimes with a small membrane to guide healing. Over time, the body naturally integrates the graft, regenerating lost bone.

Gum Grafting Procedure

In gum grafting, Dr. Bayette will carefully numb the area and remove a small section of tissue from the roof of your mouth or use donor tissue. This tissue is then stitched over the area with receding gums. The procedure helps cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and rebuild a healthier gum line.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, you’ll receive personalized post-op care instructions. Healing typically involves a soft diet, good oral hygiene, and follow-up visits. Most patients return to normal routines within a few days, with full healing in a few weeks to months depending on the graft type.
