Doctor Dave Dorroh on Bone Grafts
If a patient needs to have a tooth extracted and they want to have an implant put in, then they’re going to have to have a bone graft done. What it does is it allows the bone to remodel and they don’t lose that bone that supported that tooth that was previously there. And now, six months later, they’re able to go in and actually have the tooth or the implant placed and then the tooth restored.
And a bone graft is a great procedure. It goes without saying, if you’re able to take a tooth out, do a bone graft, put an implant in, put the tooth back where it was, you’re back to normal as far as chewing goes.

Strengthen Your Jaw With a Bone Graft
Your bone grafting procedure will be designed to meet your specific needs. The treatment will be performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. You can also receive dental sedation if you’d like. Here’s what you can expect:
- We will carefully prepare the graft site and numb your mouth.
- The chosen graft material is placed in the area needing support.
- In some cases, a protective membrane will be placed over the graft.
- We will close the grafting site to promote healing.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two. Your healing and bone integration will typically take several months. During this time, your body will grow new bone, strengthening the grafted area.
We will give you comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments, so we can monitor your progress. Our team is always available to answer questions and handle any concerns during your recovery.
Our professionals are committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health through advanced bone grafting techniques. Whether you’re preparing for dental implants or simply addressing bone loss, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Absolutely amazing. He listened to my concerns, understood what I was telling him, then saw for himself the angst I’d been through for the past 5 years. He then fixed it with just a slight adjustment. Prior told me I’d get used to it. I slept all night without interruption for the first time last night without being awakened by excruciating headache, neck or jaw pain.

Friendly staff, skilled Hygienists, nurses, and the best Doctor around. Dr. Dorroh is thorough and meticulous. He takes time to explain xrays and the details of what care is required. I was an emergency patient many years ago and I am so happy to be back with a Dentist that has my best interest in mind when recommending dental procedures. I always receive the very best care and service. Dr. Dorroh is everything you expect from a top-tier Dentist. If you haven’t tried Dr. Dorroh yet, what are you waiting for? Dentistry care with your smile and health in mind.

Wonderful. Dr. Dorrah fixed my tooth problem.
If you have a weak or thin jawbone and are unable to get dental implants, a bone graft can make implants a reality. Your dentist will carefully insert synthetic bone material in your gum. Over the next few months, this material will stimulate the growth of new bone cells in your jaw. Soon, your jaw will be strong enough to support implants and replacement teeth.
A bone graft can save teeth you are at risk of losing from periodontal (gum) disease. In advanced cases of gum disease, inflammation can attack the bone surrounding your teeth. A grafting procedure will encourage the bone to regenerate, so you won’t lose teeth. Treating gum disease in its early stages will avoid the need for a graft.
Before your bone graft procedure begins, we’ll make sure that the area we’re working on is completely numb. We don’t want you to feel any discomfort. In addition, if you’re nervous about your procedure, you’re welcome to take advantage of either inhaled sedation or oral sedation.
