At Kedron Family Dental , we offer bone grafting services to help increase bone volume where clinically appropriate and to support treatment planning for dental implants and other restorative procedures.
Kedron Family Dental provides bone grafting in Brisbane to create a stable foundation for essential dental procedures. Bone grafting supports dental implants and other treatments, strengthening the jawbone and supporting future restorative treatment where clinically appropriate. Bone grafting may help create a more suitable foundation for implant placement and other restorative treatments. Treatment outcomes vary depending on individual circumstances.
Our team in Kedron provides dental treatment options that may help prepare the jaw for restorative and corrective procedures, based on your individual clinical needs.
A bone graft in dentistry is a surgical procedure used to add or support bone volume in areas of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support may be required. This procedure may be considered when there is insufficient bone available for certain dental treatments, such as dental implants or other oral restorations. Your dentist will assess your individual circumstances and discuss suitable treatment options.
During a bone grafting procedure, the following steps are generally involved:
The process begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation with the dentist. Here, the dentist assesses your oral health, takes x-rays, and determines the extent of bone loss. At Kedron Family Dental , a personalised treatment plan will also be provided to outline the extent of treatment needed for your specific case as well as a more accurate quote for bone grafting.
Before the procedure,you are administered anaesthesia to help ensure comfort and pain control during the surgery.
The grafting material can be obtained from various sources, including your own body (autograft), a donor (allograft), or through synthetic materials. The choice depends on your specific needs as a patient.
During surgery, graft material is then placed in the area of the jaw where bone augmentation is required. The dentist carefully shapes and secures the graft to ensure it properly integrates with the existing bone.
Once the graft is in place, the surgical site is closed and sutured. You will receive postoperative care instructions, including guidelines for managing any discomfort, swelling, or potential postoperative restrictions. A day or so afterwards, it is also common for our reception team to call and check in on how you are feeling post-surgery.
Over the following weeks and months, the graft material integrates with the existing jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This helps promote the growth of new bone to then strengthen the jaw.
In a few months time, we may also ask our patients in for reviews to monitor the healing process of the graft. X-rays may be taken to assess the success of the graft and determine readiness for any subsequent procedures.

There are many different types of bone grafts, and the choice of graft material depends on your specific needs as a patient. The main types of bone grafts include:
In an autograft, bone is harvested from another site within your body(often from the hip, jaw, or tibia). This type of bone graft is often preferred because it uses your own live bone cells.
Allografts involve using bone tissue from a donor, which can be cadaveric (from a deceased donor). The donor bone is thoroughly processed to remove cells and reduce the risk of rejection. Allografts are a common alternative where your own bone may not be feasible.
Xenografts use bone material from animals (typically cows or pigs). These are specially processed to remove any organic components, leaving behind the mineral structure. Xenografts provide a scaffold for new bone growth.
Alloplastic or synthetic grafts use artificial materials such as ceramics, hydroxyapatite, or bioactive glasses. These materials mimic the properties of natural bone and provide support for new bone formation.
BMPs are naturally occurring proteins that stimulate bone formation. In some cases, synthetic BMPs may be used to promote bone growth without the need for additional graft material.
The cost of bone grafting can vary based on several factors, including the:
To get a better understanding on costs, it is highly recommended to do a 3D X-ray scan . This imaging allows your dentist to assess the amount of available gum and the degree of grafting needed, enabling them to provide a personalised quote for the procedure.
Healing time after a bone graft can vary depending on factors such as the size and location of the graft, individual healing response and overall oral health. In some cases, the healing process may take several months before an implant can be considered. Your dentist will assess your healing progress and discuss the appropriate timing for further treatment.
Depending on your needs, bone grafts can be autografts (your bone), allografts (donor bone), xenografts (animal bone), or synthetic grafts.
Our dentists assess your condition and recommend grafting materials based on your clinical needs and treatment goals.
In some cases, bone grafting and implant placement can be done simultaneously. However, if severe bone loss is present, healing time may be required first.
We check your jawbone density and recommend a suitable treatment plan for your dental implant procedure.
Anyone with insufficient jawbone for implants due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma may need bone grafting to restore bone density.
We conduct detailed check-ups to determine if bone grafting is right for you. Our experienced team offers tailored options for long-term oral health.
Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions, avoid smoking, eat soft foods, and maintain oral hygiene to support healing.
We provide detailed post-procedure guidance and follow-up care to ensure your bone graft heals properly and is ready for the next steps in your treatment.
