What Is a Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting repairs and strengthens your jawbone. When teeth are missing, the jawbone can get weak or shrink. A bone graft adds new bone material to build up these areas. It’s like giving your jaw a strong foundation.


This procedure is often needed before getting dental implants. The dentist adds bone material to your jaw, then lets it heal and grow strong. Once healed, your jaw will be ready to hold implants securely. At Tkatch Dentistry in High Point, NC, we use bone grafting to help prepare patients for successful dental implants.

Bone Grafting FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

At Tkatch Dentistry in High Point, NC, we restore and strengthen your jawbone through advanced bone grafting procedures. This essential treatment creates a solid foundation for dental implants and helps maintain your facial structure.

What is bone grafting and why might I need it?

Bone grafting is a procedure we perform at Tkatch Dentistry in High Point, NC to rebuild or strengthen areas where bone loss has occurred in your jaw. You might need a bone graft if:

  • You’re planning to get dental implants but lack sufficient bone density
  • You’ve experienced bone loss from gum disease
  • You’ve had teeth missing for a while
  • You need to preserve the bone socket after tooth extraction


During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your jaw bone density using advanced imaging technology to determine if bone grafting would benefit your specific case.
At our High Point, NC office, we offer several types of bone grafts:

  • Socket preservation grafts (placed immediately after tooth extraction)
  • Block bone grafts (for larger areas of bone loss)
  • Sinus lifts (for upper jaw implants)
  • Ridge augmentation (to rebuild the natural contour of your gums and jaw)


We’ll recommend the most appropriate type based on your specific needs, the location of the graft, and your planned dental work.
The healing time for bone grafts varies depending on the type and size of the graft. Typically, it takes about 4-6 months for the graft to fully integrate with your natural bone. However, smaller grafts might heal faster, while larger ones could take longer.

At Tkatch Dentistry, we’ll monitor your healing progress with regular check-ups at our High Point, NC office. We’ll let you know when the graft has healed sufficiently to proceed with any planned dental work, such as implant placement.
At Tkatch Dentistry, we ensure your comfort during bone grafting procedures. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely, and we offer sedation options for anxious patients.


After the procedure, you might experience some discomfort for a few days, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. We’ll provide detailed post-operative instructions at our High Point, NC office to help ensure a comfortable recovery.
The cost of bone grafting varies depending on the type and size of the graft needed. During your consultation at our High Point, NC office, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown after examining your specific case.


Many dental insurance plans provide some coverage for bone grafting, especially when it’s part of a medically necessary procedure. Our team at Tkatch Dentistry will help you understand your insurance benefits and discuss payment options to make treatment more affordable.
At Tkatch Dentistry, we use several types of grafting materials:

  • Your own bone (autografts)
  • Donor bone (allografts)
  • Synthetic materials
  • Animal-derived bone (xenografts)


During your consultation at our High Point, NC office, we’ll discuss the advantages of each option and recommend the most suitable material for your case. All materials we use are thoroughly tested and FDA-approved.
After your bone grafting procedure:

  • Some swelling and discomfort is normal for the first few days
  • You’ll need to eat soft foods for several days
  • We’ll prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection
  • You’ll need to be gentle when cleaning around the surgical site


Our team at Tkatch Dentistry will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments at our High Point, NC office to monitor your healing.
A: Bone grafting procedures have a high success rate, especially when performed by experienced professionals like our team at Tkatch Dentistry. Success rates vary depending on factors like:

  • The location of the graft
  • Your overall health
  • Following post-operative instructions
  • Maintaining good oral hygiene


We carefully evaluate each case and plan the procedure meticulously to ensure the best possible outcome for our High Point, NC patients.
A: While bone grafting is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks:

  • Infection
  • Rejection of the graft
  • Slow healing
  • Bleeding or swelling


At Tkatch Dentistry, we take all necessary precautions to minimize these risks. We’ll discuss any concerns during your consultation at our High Point, NC office and explain how we manage potential complications.
To prepare for your bone grafting procedure:

  • Follow any pre-operative instructions provided
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery
  • Stock up on soft foods
  • Fill any prescriptions beforehand
  • Plan to take it easy for a few days after surgery


Our team at Tkatch Dentistry will provide detailed preparation instructions during your consultation at our High Point, NC office. We’re committed to ensuring you’re fully prepared and comfortable with the procedure.

I had a crown done today; I can’t thank Sabina and Dr Tkatch enough for taking such good care of me. The procedure was quick and painless. I highly recommend them for all your dental needs. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well!

I came to Tkatch Dentistry for the first time in December 2024. I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 10-12 years, had a tooth bothering me that I wanted extracted and also knew I needed some more work done. Dr. Tkatch was direct with me, that I’m still very young and he felt if I got on top of getting my cavities filled, I’d be in good shape as long as I continue to stay on top of my dental care. He stated “you don’t have a cleaning problem but a flossing problem.” Some may find that rude, but he was right, I never really understood the benefit of flossing and most of my cavities were in areas where if I’d flossed, I may not have the same issues. Now I am an avid, everyday flosser. Your dental health can affect so many other parts of your body including your brain. He got me set up with a treatment plan in which I’ve fulfilled almost all of, nearly a year later and my mouth is feeling much better. During recent cleanings I was complimented on my current home care by the dental hygienist and was pleased to hear “you don’t have a lot going on in there” as I still have a few cavities to fill. Both Dr. Tkatch and Dr. Kevin have treated me and all of the dental hygienists who have assisted have been great! Dr. Tkatch is direct and will tell you like it is and Dr. Kevin is funny and has a bubbly personality. Both great dentists and I appreciate all the work they’ve done to help me and educate me so I can keep all of my teeth for years to come! Edit to add: the office staff have always been kind to me and gone over any potential out of pocket payments that may occur, and have been great when trying to find me a Friday to schedule as it works best with my schedule. Also, I have been put on a waitlist a couple of times for a potential opening at an earlier time and each time they were able to call and offer a time which was great when I needed to get in earlier!

Dr Tkatch and Sabina helped me with extensive dental work and did a superb job on fixing my smile. Both of them explained the entire process in detail and helped made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. Their attention to detail is flawless and feel like they spent the same time and effort helping me as if they were doing the same procedure for themselves. The ENTIRE Tkatch staff are really amazing and everyone makes you feel so welcome in their office. I give Tkatch dentistry my highest recommendation and would trust them for any dental procedure big or small. Thank you so much, i appreciate you all!!

Getting a crown along with a computer aided design and manufacturing lesson today. One visit and done. The Industrial Engineer in me is fascinated by the tech. Thanks to Dr. Tkatch and his delightful staff.

I have been coming to Dr.Tkatch for 5 years and I’m very pleased with the practice! The hygienists are so friendly and gentle. The dentists are great too! I have only had cleanings and exams, so I can’t say much about getting a filling or other procedures done, but my husband has and he always has a positive experience. Highly recommend!
