      Bone Grafting in Dubai

      Bone Grafting

      Restoring Foundation for a Healthy Smile

      A strong and healthy jawbone is the crucial foundation for a stable and functional smile. When bone loss occurs due to tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or other factors, it can compromise your ability to receive dental implants and affect the long-term health and aesthetics of your mouth. Bone grafting is a scientifically proven procedure designed to rebuild and restore lost jawbone, creating a solid base for dental restorations and improving overall oral health.

      What is Bone Grafting?

      Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure used to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have deteriorated due to tooth loss, gum disease, trauma, or long-term denture wear. This loss of bone can make it difficult or even impossible to place dental implants without first restoring the bone.

      Using high-quality grafting materials—either your own bone, synthetic substitutes, or donor bone—our Specialist Peridontists, Oral Surgeons, or Oral & Maxilloffacial Surgeons at Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers carefully rebuild the affected area to promote new bone growth and create a stable foundation.

      What Causes Jawbone Loss?

      The Science Behind
      Jaw Bone Regeneration

      Jaw bone regeneration is a remarkable process that helps rebuild bone that’s been lost due to missing teeth, injury, or other conditions. One of the most effective ways to do this is through bone grafting, where special biocompatible materials are placed in the area of bone loss to support new bone growth.

      These materials act like a scaffold, giving your body’s natural bone-forming cells (called osteoblasts) a structure to grow on. Some grafts also contain proteins and growth factors that encourage your own stem cells to develop into new bone cells, helping the process along.

      Over time, your body gradually replaces the graft material with healthy, strong bone through its natural healing cycle. This new bone creates a stable base for treatments like dental implants and helps restore both function and appearance.

      Bone regeneration isn’t just about science—it’s about giving patients the chance to smile, speak, and eat with confidence again.

      The Bone Grafting Procedure
      at Drs. Nicolas & Asp

      The bone grafting procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for enhanced comfort. The steps involved generally include:

      Post-Operative Care and Healing

      Following your bone grafting procedure, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort. These instructions may include:

      • Pain management: Prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication to manage any discomfort.
      • Cold compresses: Application of ice packs to reduce swelling.
      • Soft diet: Avoiding hard or chewy foods that could disrupt the healing process.
      • Oral hygiene: Gentle rinsing with a prescribed mouthwash and careful brushing around the surgical site.
      • Avoiding strenuous activity: Limiting physical exertion to promote healing.
      • Follow-up appointments: Attending scheduled appointments to monitor your healing progress.

      The healing time for a bone graft varies depending on the extent of the grafting and individual factors, but it typically takes several months for the new bone to mature and become strong enough to support dental implants or other restorations.

      Bone Graft FAQs

      Insurance coverage for bone grafting depends on your specific plan—some may cover it if it’s considered medically necessary. We accept most insurance cards for direct billing of approved dental services, and if direct settlement isn’t available, we’re happy to assist with the paperwork for your claim. If you’d like help checking your coverage, just give us a call.

      Bone grafting is typically performed by Periodontists, Oral Surgeons, or Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons—specialists trained in advanced surgical procedures involving bone and gums.

      Healing time for a bone graft varies based on the size of the graft, the location, and your overall health. Initial recovery usually takes about a week, but full healing can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. In cases where a larger graft is needed, it may take up to 9–12 months. Your oral surgeon will monitor the healing closely before proceeding with additional treatments like dental implants. Good oral hygiene and follow-up care are essential for long-term success.

      Membranes are protective barriers placed over bone grafts to help guide bone regeneration and prevent soft tissue from interfering with healing. They dissolve over time or may need removal depending on the type used.

      Not every tooth extraction requires a bone graft. Whether it's needed depends on factors like your age, gum and bone type, the tooth’s location, and overall oral health. Sometimes, the extraction site heals on its own and is suitable for a dental implant. However, in cases where a lot of bone is lost during extraction, a bone graft can help preserve the socket and provide a stable foundation for a future implant.

      During recovery, it's normal to experience mild swelling, discomfort, or bruising, which typically improves within a few days. Your oral surgeon will provide personalized aftercare instructions and may prescribe medication to help ensure smooth and comfortable healing.
