At Casa Dental, we offer bone grafting after tooth extraction to help preserve the jawbone and maintain space for future dental implant placement. This preventive treatment is typically performed at the time of extraction using allograft bone and, when appropriate, either an allograft membrane or a xenograft membrane to support proper healing and long-term oral health.
Bone grafting is a procedure in which bone material is placed into the empty tooth socket immediately after a tooth is removed. This helps preserve the natural shape, strength, and volume of the jawbone as it heals.
Without bone grafting, the jawbone in the area of a missing tooth can shrink over time, which may limit future tooth replacement options such as dental implants.
At Casa Dental, we primarily use allograft bone grafts, which are processed bone materials sourced from human donors and prepared under strict medical and safety standards.
Allograft bone grafts:
To protect the bone graft and support predictable healing, we may use a barrier membrane as part of the procedure. The type of membrane used depends on the clinical situation and patient preference.
Allograft Membranes
Allograft membranes are derived from human donor tissue and are commonly used in socket preservation and guided bone regeneration. They help stabilize the graft and support natural bone healing.
Xenograft Membranes
Xenograft membranes are derived from non-human biological sources and are widely used in dentistry. These membranes provide effective protection for the graft and support proper healing.
The use of any membrane is always discussed with the patient prior to treatment.
Bone grafting is most often performed immediately after tooth extraction, a technique known as socket preservation.
Placing the graft at the time of extraction:
After a tooth is removed, the jawbone in that area no longer receives stimulation and can begin to shrink. Bone grafting helps:

Once healing is complete, the grafted area can provide a strong, stable foundation for dental implant placement, should you choose to replace the missing tooth in the future.
Bone grafting helps ensure your jawbone remains healthy, stable, and implant-ready.
