Bone Grafting
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone tissue to your jaw. This can be done using your bone (autogenous bone graft) or bone from a donor (allograft). The grafted bone stimulates your body to produce new bone cells, filling in the gaps and increasing bone density.
Bone Grafting at Elite Dental Tours
Missing teeth not only affect your smile but can also lead to jawbone deterioration. When bone loss occurs in the jaw, it can hinder the successful placement of dental implants. This is where bone grafting comes in – a surgical procedure that adds bone volume and density to the jaw, creating a strong foundation for dental implants.
Elite Dental Tours Offers Major and Minor Bone Grafting Procedures
Minor Bone Grafting: These procedures address smaller areas of bone loss and can often be done in conjunction with dental implant placement.
Major Bone Grafting: For significant bone loss or complex cases, major bone grafting procedures may be required. These procedures utilize bone from your own body (hip, tibia) or a donor source to rebuild the jawbone structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have Questions About Dental Tourism?
We've Got Answers!
What is bone grafting surgery?
Bone grafting surgery is a procedure where bone material is added to your jawbone to increase its density and volume. This creates a stronger foundation for dental implants or other dental procedures.
Is bone grafting permanent?
Yes, bone grafts are permanent. The grafted bone material integrates with your natural jawbone over time, providing a long-lasting foundation for dental restorations.
How long is recovery from bone grafting surgery?
Recovery time from bone grafting surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and your individual healing rate. Typically, it takes several weeks for the initial healing to occur, and several months for the grafted bone to fully integrate with your jawbone.
Will I need bone grafting before getting dental implants?
Not everyone requires bone grafting. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your jawbone health and determine if bone grafting is necessary for successful implant placement.
