When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding jawbone can begin to deteriorate and lose its natural density and volume over time. At Axis Dental, we provide structurally focused dental bone grafting procedures designed to rebuild and strengthen your jawbone, creating a solid foundation for future restorative treatments and supporting your long-term oral health.
A dental bone graft is a clinical procedure that involves placing biocompatible material into areas where bone has been lost. Over time, this material acts as a scaffold, encouraging your body to regenerate its own new, healthy bone tissue.

Types of Bone Grafting Materials
Depending on your specific clinical needs, our team will recommend the most appropriate grafting material during your assessment. The primary types of bone grafts include:
Autograft: Bone tissue harvested directly from your own body, typically from another area of the jaw.
Allograft: Highly sterilised bone material sourced from a human tissue donor. This serves as an effective framework for your own bone to grow into, without the need for a second surgical site.
Xenograft: Biocompatible bone material sourced from an animal donor (often bovine or porcine). This material is rigorously processed and sterilised, acting as a highly stable scaffold for new bone development over time.
Alloplast: A synthetic, biocompatible grafting material (such as hydroxyapatite) designed in a laboratory to mimic natural bone structure and encourage tissue integration.
