Restore Your Jawbone for Successful Dental Implants
At Young Dental Health Center in Upland, CA, we offer Bone & Sinus Grafting procedures to help patients who may not have enough bone structure to support dental implants. Whether you've experienced bone loss due to gum disease, trauma, or missing teeth for a long time, grafting can help regenerate and rebuild the bone in your jaw.
Our skilled team uses advanced techniques to ensure that your jawbone is prepared for implants, leading to better implant success and long-term oral health.
Bone Grafting is a procedure used to restore lost bone in the jaw, often due to tooth loss or gum disease. In cases where the jawbone has receded or is insufficient, grafting allows for the placement of dental implants by providing a stable base. Bone grafting can involve using your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials to rebuild the bone.
Sinus Grafting — also known as Sinus Lift — is a specialized procedure performed when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone to support implants, especially in the back molar area. The sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space, which is then filled with bone graft material, enabling the area to develop adequate bone for future implants.
How Bone & Sinus Grafting Works
Assessment & 3D Imaging
A cone beam CT scan gives us an exact three-dimensional picture of your bone volume, density, and the position of anatomical structures like the sinus floor. This allows us to determine precisely how much bone grafting is needed.
Grafting Material Selection
We select the most appropriate graft material based on your specific situation — synthetic bone substitutes, processed donor bone, or in some cases a combination. We explain the reasoning behind our recommendation before proceeding.
Grafting Procedure
The grafting procedure is performed under local anesthesia (sedation available). For bone grafting, we place the graft material and cover it with a protective membrane. For sinus lifting, we gently elevate the sinus membrane and place graft material beneath it.
Healing & Bone Integration
The graft material acts as a scaffold for your body to grow new natural bone. This integration process takes 4–9 months. We apply PRF therapy to accelerate healing and monitor your progress with follow-up imaging.
Implant Placement
Once sufficient bone volume is confirmed via CT scan, implant placement proceeds. In some cases, bone grafting and implant placement can be performed simultaneously, reducing your overall treatment time.
Why Bone & Sinus Grafting is Right For You
- Creates a Solid Foundation for Implants: Ensures your jaw has sufficient bone mass to securely hold dental implants.
- Prevents Further Bone Loss: Restoring the bone prevents additional deterioration and helps maintain facial structure.
- Supports Long-Term Oral Health: Rebuilding bone promotes better overall oral health and prevents issues related to bone loss.
- Restores Function and Aesthetics: Rebuilding the bone helps restore normal function, appearance, and comfortable chewing.
- Minimally Invasive Options: With modern technology and techniques, bone and sinus grafting procedures are relatively straightforward with a smoother recovery.
- Who benefits: Patients with insufficient bone due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma — and those who want dental implants but require additional bone for stability.
Why choose us for Bone & Sinus Grafting?
Fully In-House Grafting Expertise
Many practices refer bone grafting out to oral surgeons. At Young Dental Health Center, Dr. Clifford Young and Dr. Peter Young perform both bone and sinus grafting in Upland — giving you one trusted team for your entire treatment.
3D CT Planning Before Every Graft
Bone grafting without 3D imaging is guesswork. We use cone beam CT technology to plan the precise volume, position, and type of graft material needed — so there are no surprises during surgery.
PRF Therapy Routinely Applied
We use Platelet Rich Fibrin therapy with all bone grafting procedures. PRF — derived from your own blood — delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the graft site, accelerating new bone formation.
Giving Patients a Second Chance
Some of our most grateful patients are those who were told elsewhere that they were not candidates for implants because of bone loss. We have helped many Upland area patients restore their smiles through grafting.
Comprehensive Follow-Up
Post-graft cone beam CT scans confirm the extent and quality of new bone formation before we proceed to implant placement — ensuring you have an optimal foundation for long-term success.
Frequently asked.
Bone grafting is required when there isn't enough bone in the jaw to support dental implants. It helps restore the bone structure, making implants possible and more successful.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, which can be managed with prescribed pain relief and over-the-counter medication.
Healing typically takes a few months. During this time, the graft material integrates with your natural bone to provide a solid foundation for implants.
In some cases, dental implants can be placed at the same time as the graft, but usually implants are placed after the graft has fully healed.
You will be given detailed aftercare instructions, which include avoiding hard or crunchy foods and taking prescribed pain relievers. Follow-up visits to monitor healing are essential.
