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.

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

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.

3

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.

4

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.

I was referred to Dr. Tow by my dentist, and from the moment I stepped into his Beverly Hills office, I felt a sense of calm. The earthy, thoughtfully designed space melts away the usual dental anxiety - it feels more like a peaceful sanctuary than a medical practice. The entire visit was seamless, and the city views from the examination room were an added bonus.

Dr. Tow is the kind of doctor who makes you feel truly seen. He is warm, attentive, and genuinely conversational, with a rare ability to put you at ease without ever seeming rushed. He listened carefully to all of my questions and concerns, then took the time to walk me through every aspect of the procedure in clear, understandable terms. What impressed me most was his patience. I went back and forth on my decision countless times, overthinking every detail, and not once did he make me feel like a burden. He remained calm, supportive, and completely nonjudgmental, encouraging me to take all the time I needed. That level of respect and compassion is something you rarely encounter in healthcare today.

Dr. Tow is not only exceptionally skilled as an oral surgeon, but also someone you can fully trust. He combines top-tier expertise with genuine kindness in a way that transforms a stressful experience into a positive one. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who treats you like a person, not just a patient, Dr. Tow is the one.

Dr Tow and staff were warm, caring, organized and conscientious.. I came in for a consult after TMJ arthrocentesis to discuss a possible TMJ joint replacement. Dr Tow reviewed my complex history and records, He asked about my personal TMJ experience and listened to my primary concerns. He examined my TMJ joint and related muscle and nerve conditions thoroughly. He explained imaging results and discussed pros and cons of treatment options. He provided resources, education and recommendations that left me with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in his expertise.

I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and Dr. Tow was incredible! Not only did he do a great job, my favorite thing about his care was the follow up. He let me come in whenever I was worried about how I was recovering and always assured me I was healing in the right way. He really cares about his patients and made me feel so safe, which is so important when getting such a massive surgery. 10/10

 I had a great experience with Dr. Tow and his entire team. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and reassuring.

I underwent a surgical wisdom tooth extraction where the tooth was still in the gum, done with only local anesthetic, so I was understandably very anxious. Dr. Tow was calm, professional, and took excellent care of me throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference.

I unfortunately developed dry socket afterward and had to return a few days later, but once again I was very well looked after. Dr. Tow took the time to check everything thoroughly and provided treatments to help with the healing and discomfort.

I highly recommend Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery — truly five-star care from start to finish.
