Why Cambie Dental
Bone grafts placed with precision
We assess your bone structure thoroughly to determine the best grafting approach.
Every case is different. We use imaging and careful examination to plan a graft that sets you up for long-term success.
Advanced Techniques
Use of Platelet Rich Fibrin to enhance healing
Thorough Planning
We use X‑rays and scans to assess bone density and determine exactly where grafting is needed.
Predictable Healing
Modern techniques and materials lead to consistent integration and fewer complications.
Honest Guidance
We explain whether grafting is essential or optional — and what happens without it.
What to Know
Understanding dental bone grafts
After a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone begins to shrink. That loss can affect nearby teeth, cosmetics, and your ability to support implants or dentures later. Bone grafting prevents this collapse.
Signs You May Need One
Insufficient bone for implants, loose dentures, or visible shrinkage of the jaw over time.
What to Expect
A minor surgical procedure, followed by several months of healing as the graft integrates.
When to Act
When bone grafting is recommended
Implants need solid bone to anchor into. If yours has shrunk from tooth loss or time, grafting rebuilds the foundation so implants can succeed long-term.
When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone can shrink over time. Grafting helps preserve the bone structure and maintain proper support for neighbouring teeth and the overall stability of your bite.
Planning ahead matters. When a tooth is being removed and replacement is expected, grafting helps preserve the bone needed for future treatment. After the ridge has resorbed over time, restoring that lost bone becomes significantly more challenging.

Care & Longevity
Keeping your bone graft healthy
Successful integration takes time and care. Here's how to give your graft the best chance.
01
Stick to soft foods for several weeks
Soups, smoothies, eggs, and soft proteins nourish you without putting pressure on the healing area.
02
Apply ice to minimize swelling
Swelling peaks around day two or three. Ice your cheek for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
03
Be patient with the healing timeline
Bone grafts take 3 to 6 months to fully integrate. Rushing to the next step risks graft failure.
04
Watch for signs of infection or failure
Increasing pain, fever, pus, or exposed graft material should be reported to us immediately.

Common Questions Here's what patients
Here's what patients
want to know most
Not during the procedure — local anesthesia keeps you numb. Most patients describe the healing as less uncomfortable than a tooth extraction.
Options include your own bone, donor bone, animal-sourced, or synthetic. We explain pros and cons of each and match the right choice to your case.
Most grafts integrate within 3 to 6 months before the next step (usually an implant). Larger grafts can take longer. We monitor progress along the way.
Failure is uncommon when aftercare is followed. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or poor hygiene raise risk. We discuss your specific risk factors upfront.
