Bone Grafts in Irvine
At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, we offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild and strengthen your jawbone—creating a stable foundation for dental implants and improving overall oral health.
What Is a Dental Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a surgical procedure that adds bone or bone-like material to areas of the jaw where bone has deteriorated. This is commonly needed before dental implant placement or after tooth loss or gum disease.
Why Is Bone Grafting Needed?
Jawbone can shrink or weaken due to:
Tooth loss
Periodontal disease
Injury or trauma
Long-term denture use
A bone graft helps:
Restore lost bone volume
Support future dental implants
Prevent facial sagging or collapse
Maintain a balanced bite and function
Types of Bone Grafts We Offer
Socket preservation – Placed after a tooth extraction to maintain bone height
Ridge augmentation – Builds up the jawbone where it has shrunk
Sinus lift – Adds bone to the upper jaw below the sinus for upper implants
Block grafts – Used for more severe bone loss
We use safe, biocompatible materials including your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic alternatives depending on your needs.
What to Expect
Consultation & Imaging – We use 3D scans to assess your jawbone volume
Graft Placement – The grafting material is placed under local anesthesia
