What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or augments jawbone where it’s become too thin or soft to support dental implants or other treatments. Bone loss can result from trauma, tooth loss, infection, or gum disease. If left untreated, this deterioration can make it difficult to place implants or restore full function. Dr. Tow uses advanced imaging and in-house 3D printing to plan grafting procedures with precision and predictability. His method prioritizes both structural integrity and patient comfort, helping people take the next step toward long-term oral health and functional tooth replacement. Book your visit today.
The benefits of bone grafting
Expands treatment possibilities
Bone grafting opens the door to implant treatment for patients who might otherwise be told they’re not candidates.
Supports facial structure
By preserving bone volume in the jaw, grafts help prevent the sunken facial appearance often associated with tooth loss.
Creates long-term stability
A healthy, reinforced foundation allows implants and restorations to remain secure and last longer.
The bone grafting process
1
Diagnostic imaging and consultation
At Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery, we begin with a full evaluation using our Carestream CBCT and Straumann intraoral scanner to assess bone quality and identify areas of concern. Dr. Tow will walk you through the findings and explain your options clearly.
2
Custom treatment planning
With digital scans and in-house 3D printing, we design surgical guides that match your anatomy. This allows Dr. Tow to perform grafts with high precision while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue.

Bone graft procedure
Dr. Tow carefully places bone material, either from your body or a donor source, into the deficient area. In many cases, the graft is done in preparation for implants, but it may also be used to correct defects or trauma-related damage.

Healing and follow-up
Over the next few months, the graft integrates with your natural bone. Our team monitors healing closely and will help coordinate the next steps in your care once the graft is stable enough to support implant placement.
Restoring more than just bone
FAQ's
It depends on the amount and quality of bone present in your jaw. If there isn’t enough bone to securely anchor an implant, a graft may be required to rebuild the area and create a stable foundation.
The procedure is done with anesthesia, and you’ll be kept comfortable throughout. Some soreness afterward is normal, but we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and check in with you during healing to make sure you’re recovering smoothly.
Most bone grafts take a few months to fully integrate with your existing bone. We’ll schedule follow-ups to track healing progress and move forward with additional treatment when the graft is fully ready.
