Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a specialized surgical procedure used to restore or replace missing bone in the jaw with either natural or synthetic materials. It is often an essential step for patients who need dental implants but lack sufficient bone structure to support them.
At OMFS, a premier oral surgery center in Toronto, we provide comprehensive bone grafting services tailored to each patient’s needs. Using the latest techniques and high-quality grafting materials, our skilled surgeons work to rebuild and strengthen your jawbone, ensuring the best possible foundation for future dental restorations.
We prioritize patient comfort, safety, and long-term success, offering compassionate care and personalized treatment plans every step of the way. With our expertise and commitment to excellence, you can feel confident in your care and results.
Why Bone Grafting May Be Necessary
Several factors can contribute to bone loss in the jaw:- Tooth Loss: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone begins to deteriorate.
- Gum Disease: Periodontal disease can damage the jawbone and supporting tissues.
- Trauma or Injury: Facial injuries can result in bone loss.
- Developmental Defects: Some individuals may have naturally insufficient bone structure.
- Studies indicate that up to 50% of patients require bone grafting before dental implant placement.

Types of Bone Grafts
We offer various types of bone grafts to address your specific needs:
Autograft:
An autograft involves using bone from your own body—commonly from the chin, hip, or tibia—to repair or rebuild areas in the jaw. This method offers high compatibility and promotes natural healing due to the bone’s living cells.
Allograft:
An allograft uses bone sourced from a human donor, typically a cadaver, and is carefully processed and sterilized to ensure safety. It’s a reliable option without requiring a second surgical site.
Xenograft:
Bone derived from animal sources, typically bovine (cow) bone. It’s processed for safety and compatibility, providing a strong scaffold for new bone growth in the jaw.
Alloplast:
Synthetic bone substitutes made from biocompatible materials.

- Enhanced Aesthetics: Bone grafting can restore facial contours and improve the appearance of your smile.
- Restored Functionality: A strong jawbone allows for better chewing function and speech.
Improved Oral Health: Bone grafting can help prevent further bone loss and improve overall oral health.
Advanced Technology for Bone Grafting
We utilize advanced technology to enhance the bone grafting process:
- 3D Cone Beam CT Scanning: Provides detailed 3D images of your jawbone, allowing for precise graft placement and implant planning.
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR): This technique involves using membranes to guide bone growth and regeneration.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP therapy utilizes growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing and bone regeneration.
Recovery After Bone Grafting
Following bone grafting, you can expect some swelling, discomfort, and bruising, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. We’ll provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Tips for a Successful Recovery:

- Keep the surgical site clean.
- Eat a soft food diet for the first few weeks.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol.
- Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled.
Advanced Technology for Efficient Wisdom Tooth Removal
We utilize advanced technology to ensure efficient and comfortable wisdom tooth removal:
- 3D Cone Beam CT Scanning: Provides detailed 3D images of your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures, allowing for precise planning and extraction.
Piezoelectric Surgery: This minimally invasive technique uses ultrasonic vibrations to gently loosen and remove the wisdom teeth, reducing trauma and promoting faster healing.
