The Reason for Bone Grafting
If you have missing teeth or recently had a tooth extracted, bone grafting may be necessary to restore proper bone levels in your jaw. At ORA 4X, we specialize in advanced dental bone grafting procedures to ensure strong, healthy bone support for dental implants and overall oral health.
Your jawbone is the foundation of your smile—it supports your teeth, maintains your facial structure, and ensures proper function. But, without the stimulation from tooth roots, the jawbone can shrink and deteriorate. This can cause natural teeth to shift or loosen, reduce lip and cheek support, and lead to problems with the jaw joint (TMJ). In severe cases, significant bone loss can even prevent you from receiving dental implants.
To restore lost jawbone volume and density, Dr. Devan Dalla and our expert team may recommend a bone graft for dental implant placement using state-of-the-art techniques, to rebuild the foundation needed for implant success and durability. As Northern California’s leading provider of bone grafting and full-arch restoration, ORA 4X helps patients restore their smiles with expert care and lasting results.
The Benefits of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is more than just a functional treatment—it’s a life-changing procedure that restores oral health, function, and confidence. When tooth and bone loss occur, it can lead to difficulty eating, an increased risk of infection, and even changes in facial structure. At ORA 4X, our expert team provides advanced dental implant and bone graft solutions to support new bone growth, treat disease, and create a strong foundation for dental implants, bridges, and dentures. By restoring proper bone density, a bone graft for dental implants can ensure that patients eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain long-term oral health. More importantly, a fully restored smile enhances self-confidence and quality of life, allowing you to enjoy life without limitations. Whether you’re preparing for dental implant surgery or simply want to improve your oral health, our team is here to help.

The Process for Restoring Lost Bone
With dental implants, a bone graft is a surgical procedure in which bone material is placed in areas where the bone has resorbed, or a tooth has been extracted. We offer bone grafting with the purpose of restoring the proper density, height, and width of the bone in the jaw. ORA 4X partners with multiple insurance providers to make your treatment affordable and achievable. In general, bone grafting may involve one or more of the following procedures:
- Socket Preservation
- Socket preservation is a bone grafting procedure that our dentist completes after tooth extraction. This involves packing bone graft material into the empty tooth socket to prevent rapid bone loss. By preserving the bone at the extraction site, socket preservation helps maintain proper density until you’re ready for a dental implant.
- Ridge Augmentation
- Ridge augmentation refers to a bone grafting procedure that restores the natural height, width, and contours of the jaw ridge. Rebuilding the bone structure not only supports future dental implants but can also make dentures more stable and comfortable.
- Sinus Lifts
- When bone in the premolar or molar area has deteriorated, a sinus lift may be recommended as part of your bone graft for implant preparation. Gently lifting the sinus cavity, bone grafting material can be placed to restore proper bone height.
