Bone Grafting

If you have a missing tooth that has never been replaced, you may be at risk of bone loss or deterioration. Pacific Dental Group wants to help you restore your oral function and smile. We use the latest techniques in bone grafting to correct this situation.

Your jawbone can deteriorate over time. This section of the jawbone then becomes unsuitable for any dental implants. Today’s technology allows dentists the opportunity to graft bone where needed to restore the functionality and appearance of your smile.

The entire bone grafting procedure usually takes months to complete. Bone is harvested from your jaw, hip or tibia and inserted into the affected spot. The new bone fuses with the existing jawbone. Adding a bone graft will help support and anchor any dental implant. During surgery, the dentist will numb the area using a local anesthetic. A small incision is made to prepare the site for the anchoring of the new bone. Sometimes, a particular membrane, or artificial skin, may be used. The layer dissolves under the gum and protects the bone graft, protects against bacteria, and encourages bone renewal. The doctor then closes the incision with stitches and allows time for healing. Our staff will provide you with instructions to help in the healing process. Once the site has fully healed, you’re ready for dental implants.

I was so chicken and now I can't see myself going to any other dentist! High five to my hygienist Danny who was super gentle and thorough with my deep cleaning of my teeth!!! Thank you guys for the awesome experience with all my visits. See your guys soon."”

“"Great Dentist, Great Staff. At 57 years-old, I've had several root canals, crowns, bridges, fillings, and extractions from many dentists, some who even advertise on radio. Having tooth-pain and not willing to wait 3 weeks for my regular dentist, I went to Dr. Julius in Montebello. I got an appointment the next day and two days later had major dental work on several of my teeth. (I just got home.) I had work done by Dr. Julius and 2 other dental specialists, also dealing with 2 other people of the excellent office staff there. Dentistry is both a preffession and a busines. Or is going to a restaurant only about the chef, and not the service? They didn't serve me food. They took care of my sh*t. Each and every one of them, all seeking the same outcome: to help me. Dr. Julius could advertise on radio, with higher prices. Maybe even on TV. I watched the finals of 'America's Got Talent' last night. Unfortunately, there were no dental offices on display. When it comes to dentistry and my teeth, I know talent. I watched the winners today."”

“"After looking for a new dentist. I settle for PDG as was greeted very nicely and the front receptionist was very sweet. The dentist & his asst. were very pleasant. I'll be staying for all my future dental visits and I can't wait to see how my new smile turns out. I really recommend this place to anybody who is a first time patients. Excellent service and reasonable prices, and cleans establishment, very professional but friendly as well."”

“"It's weird to say I loved getting the screws put to my teeth, but as far as dentists go, these guys are some of the best I've ever been to. Friendly staff as well. I recommend going to them if you're in the area and looking for some dental health care goodness."”

“"High Quality, Professional, Trustworthy. Going to the dentist usually makes people nervous, but the atmosphere here is so lighthearted and relaxing. You're definitely in good hands and won't have to worry about anything. Dr. Julius is very interactive, kind, and mindful of your comfort level at all times and it's so relieving to know that she knows what she's doing. My best dental experience by far :)"”
