Bone Grafting in Pasadena, CA

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces or regenerates lost jawbone using natural or biocompatible materials. Over time, the graft integrates with your existing bone, creating a strong, healthy foundation for:

• Dental implants
  
• All-on-4 full arch restorations
  
• Preventing further bone collapse and facial volume loss
  
• Restoring function and preserving long-term gum health
  

We customize the grafting material and technique based on your specific anatomy and treatment goals, whether you're preparing for an implant now or planning ahead.

When Is Bone Grafting Needed?

Bone loss often occurs quietly over time, especially after tooth loss. You may need a bone graft if:

• You’ve been missing a tooth for more than a few months
  
• You're planning an implant but lack sufficient jawbone
  
• You're replacing a tooth that was removed years ago
  
• You've experienced bone loss from periodontal disease
  
• You want to maintain bone volume after tooth extraction
  

If we’re planning an implant, Dr. Angha will use 3D imaging to assess your jaw and determine whether grafting is necessary as a standalone procedure or at the time of implant placement.

Types of Bone Grafting We Perform

At Angha Perio, we offer several types of bone grafting procedures, including:

• Socket preservation – Grafting done at the time of tooth extraction to prevent bone collapse
  
• Ridge augmentation – Rebuilding lost horizontal or vertical bone in the jaw ridge for better implant placement
  
• Particulate grafts – Used for small defects or around implants
  
• Guided bone regeneration (GBR) – A technique that uses membranes to promote bone growth where it’s needed
  

For upper jaw implants, we may also recommend a sinus lift if there is insufficient height beneath the sinus cavity.

Comfortable, Compassionate Care

Bone grafting may sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Dr. Angha offers:

• Gentle, precise surgical technique backed by over 15 years of experience
  
• Advanced healing strategies and biocompatible graft materials
• Optional oral conscious sedation for a stress-free experience
  
• A clean, calm, non-rushed environment where your comfort comes first
  

Post-op care is personalized, and recovery is typically smooth. We’ll guide you with complete aftercare instructions and follow-up to ensure optimal healing.

Whole-Body Support for Healing

We believe bone health doesn’t stop at the jaw. Many of our patients benefit from nutritional counselling to support their body’s healing response before and after grafting procedures.
