Dental Bone Grafting in Oakton
For Oakton residents seeking dental bone grafting, our board-certified periodontists provide exceptional results at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Reston. Dental bone grafting restores lost jawbone volume by placing biocompatible graft material that stimulates your body's natural bone regeneration, creating a solid foundation for dental implants.
Located just 12 minutes from Oakton, our Reston practice makes it convenient to access specialist-level dental bone grafting care close to home. After tooth loss, the jawbone begins to resorb and thin. Bone grafting reverses this process and rebuilds the structure needed for successful implant placement or to support existing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental Bone Grafting FAQ for Oakton Patients
Where does the bone graft material come from?
Bone graft material can come from several sources: your own bone (autograft), processed human donor bone (allograft), bovine or animal-derived bone (xenograft), or synthetic biocompatible materials (alloplast). Your periodontist will recommend the best option based on the size and location of the defect.
How long does it take for a bone graft to heal before implant placement?
Bone grafts typically require four to six months to mature and integrate with your natural bone before an implant can be placed. During this time, the graft material serves as a scaffold for your body to generate new bone cells.
What are the signs that a bone graft is failing?
Warning signs include persistent pain or swelling beyond two weeks, graft material visibly coming out of the surgical site, a foul taste or odor, or the wound reopening. Contact your periodontist immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Can bone grafting be done at the same time as a tooth extraction?
Yes — this is called socket preservation, and it is one of the most common reasons for bone grafting. Placing graft material into the extraction socket at the time of tooth removal helps maintain bone volume and width for future implant placement.
