Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting in North Hollywood – Restoring Jawbone Health for Dental Implants

If you have lost a tooth and it was never replaced, you may be at risk of bone loss in the jaw. Over time, missing teeth can lead to jawbone deterioration, making it difficult to place dental implants or maintain proper oral function. At Pacific Dental Group, we offer advanced bone grafting procedures to restore lost bone and create a strong foundation for future dental implants.

Why is Bone Grafting Necessary?

When a tooth is missing for an extended period, the surrounding bone can shrink or weaken due to lack of stimulation. This loss of bone may make it impossible to place a dental implant without first rebuilding the jawbone. Bone grafting allows dentists to regenerate lost bone structure, improving both the functionality and appearance of your smile.

How Bone Grafting Works

Bone grafting is a multi-step procedure that can take several months to complete, allowing the newly placed bone to fuse and integrate with the natural jawbone. The process includes:

  1. Bone Harvesting or Synthetic Graft – Bone is sourced from your jaw, hip, or tibia, or a biocompatible synthetic material may be used.
  2. Placement of the Bone Graft – The graft is inserted into the affected area to encourage new bone growth.
  3. Membrane Protection – In some cases, a special membrane or artificial skin is used to protect the graft, prevent bacterial infection, and promote healing.
  4. Healing Period – The graft gradually fuses with the existing jawbone, strengthening the area for future dental implants.

What to Expect During Surgery

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. A small incision is made to prepare the area for the graft, and after placement, the site is closed with stitches. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to support proper healing. Once the graft has fully integrated, the area will be ready for dental implant placement.

“"Great Dentist, Great Staff. At 57 years-old, I've had several root canals, crowns, bridges, fillings, and extractions from many dentists, some who even advertise on radio. Having tooth-pain and not willing to wait 3 weeks for my regular dentist, I went to Dr. Julius in North Hollywood. I got an appointment the next day and two days later had major dental work on several of my teeth. (I just got home.) I had work done by Dr. Julius and 2 other dental specialists, also dealing with 2 other people of the excellent office staff there. Dentistry is both a preffession and a busines. Or is going to a restaurant only about the chef, and not the service? They didn't serve me food. They took care of my sh*t. Each and every one of them, all seeking the same outcome: to help me. Dr. Julius could advertise on radio, with higher prices. Maybe even on TV. I watched the finals of 'America's Got Talent' last night. Unfortunately, there were no dental offices on display. When it comes to dentistry and my teeth, I know talent. I watched the winners today."”

“"After looking for a new dentist. I settle for PDG as was greeted very nicely and the front receptionist was very sweet. The dentist & his asst. were very pleasant. I'll be staying for all my future dental visits and I can't wait to see how my new smile turns out. I really recommend this place to anybody who is a first time patients. Excellent service and reasonable prices, and cleans establishment, very professional but friendly as well."”

“"It's weird to say I loved getting the screws put to my teeth, but as far as dentists go, these guys are some of the best I've ever been to. Friendly staff as well. I recommend going to them if you're in the area and looking for some dental health care goodness."”

Josh P.

“"High Quality, Professional, Trustworthy. Going to the dentist usually makes people nervous, but the atmosphere here is so lighthearted and relaxing. You're definitely in good hands and won't have to worry about anything. Dr. Julius is very interactive, kind, and mindful of your comfort level at all times and it's so relieving to know that she knows what she's doing. My best dental experience by far :)"”
