Bone Grafting in SW Calgary
Understanding Bone Grafting: Nature's Scaffolding
Bone grafting, also known as Guided Bone Regeneration, is a surgical procedure that stimulates new bone growth in areas where it has been lost or deteriorated. It involves placing bone graft material, which can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials, into the deficient area. Over time, your body’s natural healing process integrates this material, creating a strong and healthy bone structure.
Why is Bone Grafting Necessary?
Several factors can lead to bone loss in the jaw:
- Tooth Loss: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can gradually shrink or resorb.
- Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause bone destruction and tooth loss.
- Trauma or Injury: Facial injuries can result in bone loss or fractures.
- Developmental Defects: Some individuals may have naturally insufficient bone volume.

Patient Testimonials
I had a really good experience at Braeside dental! Ive always struggled with dental anxiety,and it took a lot of courage for me to make an appointment (its been years). I am glad that I did. Dr. Goel is so caring, non-judgemental, and he addressed all of my concerns. Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a dentist. The hygienist Deavah made me comfortable and my teeth feel so clean. Thank you!!!

I have been going to Braeside Dental for almost 20 years. It has a welcoming atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Over the years I have tried another dentist closer to home but I had to return to Braeside. Dr. Goel’s attention to detail means the work is done professionally and virtually pain free. He always goes over options and ensures I understand what and why work needs to be done. I highly recommend Braeside Dental.

Healing time varies depending on the type and extent of the graft, but it typically takes several months for the new bone to fully integrate.
