Bone grafting near you
Rebuilding support for a stronger treatment foundation.
If you have been advised to have dental implants but your jawbone is insufficient to hold your implants securely, then bone grafting in Cookstown, ON, may be the solution you need. At My New Teeth, we provide our patients with the ability to rebuild jawbone support so they can move toward a strong, healthy smile.
Supporting the jaw
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a dental procedure that adds extra bone to areas in your jaw where it may be weak or missing. The added material helps support teeth, dental implants, or dentures while your treatment area heals.

Why it may be recommended
Reasons you may need bone grafting.
Bone grafting in Cookstown, ON, may be considered when:
- You’ve had missing teeth for an extended period
- Gum disease has damaged your jawbone
- A tooth has been extracted and the bone needs to be preserved
- You’ve been advised to have dental implants but do not have sufficient bone
- An injury has affected your jaw
What to expect
How does bone grafting work?
The process begins with careful assessment and material selection, followed by placement and a healing period that allows new bone to form around the graft.
- 01
Assessment
Our implant specialist assesses your jaw, uses X-rays, and develops a treatment plan that fits your needs.
- 02
Material selection
The bone material can come from a variety of sources, and we discuss the optimal option for you.
- 03
Graft placement
During your appointment, our dental team carefully places the bone material into the area where it is needed.
- 04
Healing
Over the next few months, your body grows new bone around the grafted material as the area heals.
Most patients report little discomfort after the procedure. Our implant specialist near you will provide instructions on caring for the area during the healing process.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about bone grafting.
Your assessment will determine whether grafting is needed, which material may be used and how long healing may take.
How long will my bone graft take to heal?
It usually heals within three to six months. Your body needs this time to create new bone and prepare it to be strong enough for dental implants.
Where do you get the bone material from?
We can use bone from your own body, donor bone that’s been safely processed, or synthetic bone material. We’ll recommend the optimal option based on your specific situation.
Is bone grafting always necessary before dental implants?
Not always. Some patients have enough natural bone to support implants right away. We’ll evaluate your jaw during your consultation to determine if you need bone grafting near you first.
Will I need stitches?
Yes, small stitches may be used to keep the graft in place, which dissolve on their own or are removed after a week.
