Build a strong foundation for your implants
Bone grafts
Rebuild lost jawbone with a bone graft or sinus lift, carried out here in the practice by our implant and surgical dentist.
Dental bone grafts at Outwood Dental Care
When tooth loss, gum disease or injury has thinned the bone in your jaw, a dental bone graft can rebuild it, so your dental implant has something solid to hold onto.
Waqar Mustafa, our implant and surgical dentist, carries out bone grafts and sinus lifts here in the practice, so you won't need to go elsewhere.
What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft adds bone where your jaw has thinned, rebuilding its height or width.
After you lose a tooth, the bone that held it gradually shrinks, which can leave too little bone to support a dental implant.
A sinus lift is a type of bone graft for the upper back jaw. Waqar gently lifts the lining of the sinus and places graft material underneath, creating enough height for an implant.
How much does a dental bone graft cost?
The cost of a dental bone graft depends on the area being treated and how much bone needs rebuilding.
After your consultation, we'll send a written treatment plan and quote home with you, and you can come back for a follow-up chat before you decide anything.
We offer 0% finance for bone grafts up to 12 months through our finance partner Tabeo, or up to 36 months at 9.9% APR.
What to expect from a dental bone graft at Outwood Dental Care
Your assessment
Waqar checks your jawbone using a digital scan and an OPG x-ray, then explains the type of graft you need and how long healing is likely to take.
Your procedure
Waqar places the graft material under local anaesthetic. If you feel nervous, we can talk about inhalation sedation to help you feel calmer.
Healing and next steps
The graft takes a few months to fuse with your bone. We'll check how it's healing, and once it's ready, Waqar can place your dental implant.

When do you need a dental bone graft?
Most people find out they need a dental bone graft at their implant consultation, when a scan shows there isn't enough bone to hold an implant securely.It's more likely if you lost a tooth some time ago, or if gum disease has caused bone loss.
If you're not sure, book a consultation and Waqar will talk you through all your options.
